Teams
Use Teams to group members for planning, standups, boards, recaps, and shared visibility.
Team model
Within a workspace, teams are the main unit of organization. Teams can have their own standups, planning boards, integrations, and analytics. Even a one-person team can use team-scoped insights, release notes, and standups. A person can belong to multiple teams, and teams can be nested under parent teams for larger organizations.
Creating and joining teams
Any user can create a team. The creator becomes a team admin and can set the team name, icon, linked Slack channel, and initial invites. Invitations can be sent while creating the team or later from team settings.
Each member added to a team must accept the invite before gaining access. If Slack is connected, invitations can arrive through Slack; otherwise email invitations are used. Team members are still workspace members, but workspace membership does not automatically grant team access.
Team roles
Team roles are separate from workspace roles.
| Role | Scope |
|---|---|
| Admin | Configures standups, integrations, team channels, and membership while also participating in team work. |
| Member | Participates in team work, standups, boards, recaps, release notes, and insights. |
| Observer | Views team context without contributing standup updates or team work. |
| Coordinator | Manages team setup without participating in team work. |
Team admins and coordinators can invite or remove members, revoke pending invitations, and promote other members to admin.
Create teams around collaboration and visibility, not only the org chart. A team is the group that shares planning, standups, recaps, and progress context.
Membership and access
Team members can see team activity and fellow team members' work subject to privacy settings. Workspace members outside the team do not get team-specific views by default.
Removing a member immediately revokes their access to team features. Their historical work remains attached to the person who did it so summaries, release notes, and analytics keep their context.
Team pages
A team page shows members, pending invites, linked communication channel, configured AI abilities, team-level insights, and recent team work. Use it when you need the operational view for one team instead of the whole workspace.
Team pages connect to planning boards, standups, team insights, and release notes. Historical member work and generated summaries help people catch up, but decisions should stay attached to the underlying initiatives, bugs, todos, comments, and connected app activity.
Use Team Board under the team in the sidebar to see member work across statuses in one grid. Team summaries appear in the team journal, and the Slack bot can answer questions about team work when Slack is connected.
Team settings
Team admins and coordinators can edit the team name, icon, Slack channel, membership, pending invites, and admin roles from team settings. Multiple admins are supported.
Deleting a team is permanent for team-specific setup and history. Individual member work remains attached to the people who did it.
