# Add the Release Environment for the Project

At a minimum, projects require a release environment (often your production org) and one developer environment. Be sure all team members are users in this environment if they require access to it to perform deployments to it from within DevOps Center.

1. On the All Projects page, under Release Environment, click **Click to Create Pipeline**.
2. In the Pipeline Environments page, find the Production stage, then click **Connect Environment**.
3. Provide a unique name for the production environment and indicate the environment type.
    
    By default, DevOps Center populates this field with the project name + Production. Environment names must be unique across projects.
    
    ![Add Release Environment dialog.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-devops_center_setup-264-0-0-production-enus/4741b024-a514-4bcf-8f2f-9d308932d2de/devops_center_setup/images/add-release-environment.png)
4. Click **Log In**.
5. Log in to the environment.
6. To allow this environment to connect to DevOps Center, click **Confirm**.
    
    DevOps Center uses an OAuth process to remember your credentials. The release environment URL is now listed on the Projects page. Now define the development environments for this project.
