## After Signing Up

Once your account is created, you'll be guided through an onboarding flow:

2. **Create your first project** - The onboarding wizard walks you through setting up your first project in five steps

## Team Accounts

DevTune is designed for teams. When you create an account, you can:

* **Create a new team** - Start a team workspace and invite colleagues
* **Join an existing team** - Accept an invitation from a team member

### Team Benefits

* Share projects across your organization
* Collaborate on tracking configurations
* Unified billing at the team level
* Role-based access control (Owner and Member roles)

## Account Types

### Personal Account

Your personal account is created automatically when you sign up. It's used for:

* Managing your profile and settings
* Accessing team workspaces you're invited to

### Team Account

Team accounts are shared workspaces where your actual projects live. Teams provide:

* Project organization and management
* Member management with role-based permissions
* Collaborative features across your organization

> **Note:** Most DevTune features and projects are managed at the team level, not the personal account level.
