# Create a Pipeline

A pipeline is a series of sequential steps that are performed as part of a spinnaker application. Spinnaker has a host of pre-built stages with which you can use to perform fairly complex tasks.

While we do have guides to run specific tasks, today we are going to create a basic pipeline with a wait stage.

To do this,

1. From the ISD application dashboard, Click "**Continuous Delivery**" --> Click "**Spinnaker**".  This will take you to the Spinnaker instance you have configured with ISD. The first thing you will see is a recent view of all of your applications and Click your "**Application Name"** as shown in the image below.

2\. Select the application for which you want to create the pipeline. After selecting, Click **Pipelines** tab and Click **Create** as shown below.

3\.  Enter the "**Pipeline Name"** and click "**Create**" as shown below.

### Add Stage

You have now created a blank pipeline. After creating the pipeline, you need to add a stage to it. A stage in a pipeline is the set of actions you want the pipeline to take while executing it.

1. Click your "**Application Name**" and click "**Configure**" button to add stage.

2\.  Click "**Add Stage**" and select type of stage "**Wait**" from the drop down as shown in the below image.

3\.  After selecting the stage type, provide the "**Stage Name**" and enter the "**wait time(In Seconds)**" and then click "**Save Changes**".

Now the stage is added successfully. After adding the stage, you need to add a trigger and run a pipeline to it.
