# Setting up a workspace
## Step 1. Company name
After logging in using your email and password, you will see a screen where you can enter your company name.
## Step 2. License key
On this step you need to type in your license key. You can purchase one from us by emailing .
### Step 2. Setting up stages
The next screen is about setting up the stages that every feature iteration must go through before it’s ready for users.
In IF Method, there are no pre-development stages or “Definition of Ready.” Development always comes first, and its name and position cannot be changed. The rest of the stages can be renamed and rearranged. By default, the form includes QA and [Ready for Users](https://handbook.swinlanes.com/getting-started/pages/I6JWzGnygGlIewYaAATA#ready-for-users-vs.-definition-of-done) instead of “Definition of Done,” and you can add up to two more stages. These could be Code Review, Design Review, or anything else that suits your product.
Stages are set during onboarding. They are workspace-wide and can be changed in Workspace settings at any time.
