# Onboarding Guide

This guide describes the basic steps for getting started with Harness Feature Flags.

### Basic steps for creating a Feature Flag <a href="#basic-steps-for-creating-a-feature-flag" id="basic-steps-for-creating-a-feature-flag"></a>

To create a Flag, you need to complete the following steps:

1. [Create a Project](/feature-flags/use-feature-flags/use-ff/ff-creating-flag/create-a-project.md) to host your Flags in.
2. [Create an Environment](/feature-flags/use-feature-flags/use-ff/ff-creating-flag/create-a-project.md#create-an-environment) within your project. You can have multiple environments in a single project.
3. [Create an SDK Key](/feature-flags/use-feature-flags/use-ff/ff-creating-flag/create-a-project.md#create-an-sdk-key) for your environment. You use this to connect to a Feature Flag SDK.
4. [Create a Feature Flag](/feature-flags/use-feature-flags/use-ff/ff-creating-flag/create-a-feature-flag.md).
5. [Connect your application using one of our SDKs](/feature-flags/use-feature-flags/use-ff/ff-sdks/sdk-overview/client-side-and-server-side-sdks.md).

You can also follow the Feature Flags Get Started wizard on the Harness Platform or try one of the [Feature Flags tutorials](/feature-flags/new-to-feature-flags/get-started/tutorials.md).

Once you have created your flag, you can then:

* [Manage Targets](/feature-flags/use-feature-flags/use-ff/ff-target-management/targeting-users-with-flags.md)
* Modify [Variations](/feature-flags/use-feature-flags/use-ff/ff-creating-flag/manage-variations.md) and [Rules](/feature-flags/use-feature-flags/use-ff/ff-target-management/targeting-users-with-flags.md)
* [Add Prerequisites](/feature-flags/use-feature-flags/use-ff/ff-creating-flag/add-prerequisites-to-feature-flag.md)
