# Defining the scope of Task Mining projects

Create a Task Mining project to specify what activities you want to analyze, from which workstation users, and over what period.

The process to define the scope of a Task Mining project is as follows:

1.  Create a Task Mining project to analyze data for a specific purpose and define how long project data is collected for. Determine how the Task Mining project aggregates your workstation data, and select the cadence of workstation user activity collection.

    For more information, see [Create a Task Mining project](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/task-mining/create-task-mining-projects.md).

2.  Group workstation user actions as a task that can be logged to provide data for a Task activity analysis.

    For more information, see [Define user actions for task logging](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/task-mining/mine-data.md).

3.  Select the workstation users you want to collect activity data from and create data requests.

    For more information, see [Add workstation users to a Task Mining project](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/task-mining/add-users-to-task-mining-project.md).


Other procedures in the life-cycle of a Task Mining project are:
