+This QuickStart demonstrates how to use Sigma to build a data application (app) entirely within the Sigma UI. The data used will come from, and be stored in, Snowflake. During this demonstration, we will build a fully functional project tracking data app that, in the past, may have taken significant time to get up and running.
+
+This QuickStart is a bit longer than usual, and we understand that people can be pressed for time. While it is well worth the investment, if you can’t spare the time, you can instead [watch this 5-minute video](https://sigmacomputing.wistia.com/medias/6lneuw4062?__hstc=191098485.ee45354cafd3cb03900ca8358c6cba7c.1713989091503.1733934938183.1734711950588.87&__hssc=191098485.2.1734711950588&__hsfp=336580338) to see how impactful Sigma data apps can be for your organization.
