2319## When to use a project
2420 
2521A project is worth creating when the work has a goal that outlasts one session and keeps producing tasks. These kinds of work suit a project well:
from line 376
380376* **Local sessions and agent view**: sessions in your terminal, IDE, or the desktop app's local environment run on your machine and can't be part of a project. [Agent view](/docs/en/agent-view) is a screen for tracking several of those local sessions; it has no coordinator.
381377* **Worktrees**: a [worktree](/docs/en/worktrees) gives each local session its own working copy of a repository so parallel sessions on your machine don't overwrite each other. Threads don't need them: each thread clones its repositories into its own cloud sandbox and works on its own branch.
382378* **Agent teams**: an [agent team](/docs/en/agent-teams) is one session that starts teammate sessions for a single task, on your machine or inside a cloud session, and ends with that task.
383* **Projects in claude.ai chat and Cowork**: a [separate feature](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/9517075-what-are-projects) that groups conversations and reference files, without threads or a coordinator.
379* **Projects in claude.ai chat and Cowork**: the [earlier Projects experience](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/9517075-what-are-projects), which groups conversations and reference files without threads or a coordinator. Those projects keep working as they do today until the redesigned experience reaches them.
