Create and manage teams

Teams organize people by discipline or function.

Create a team

1. Go to Settings > Teams
2. Click + New Team
3. Enter:
   • Name — e.g., “Frontend”, “Design”, “QA”
   • Description (optional) — What the team does
4. Click Create

The team is created and appears in the Teams list.

Add members to a team

1. In Settings > Teams, click a team
2. Click + Add Member
3. Select a person and set their time allocation (e.g., 100%)
4. Click Add

The person is now on the team at that allocation %.

Set time allocation

Time allocation is the % of a person’s time dedicated to a team:

• 100% — Full time on this team
• 50% — Half time (maybe they’re on 2 teams)
• 25% — Part time

Total allocation across all teams should be ≤ 100%.

Edit team details

1. Go to Settings > Teams
2. Click a team to open it
3. Edit:
   • Team name
   • Description
   • Members and allocations
4. Click Save

Delete a team

1. Go to Settings > Teams
2. Click the team
3. Click Delete or ••• > Delete
4. Confirm

Deleting a team does not delete its members—it only removes the team structure.

Manage team capacity

Once a team is created, you can manage its capacity:

1. Go to Capacity Planning
2. See the team’s capacity grid
3. Adjust members’ time allocation (allocations should total ≤ 100%)

See Manage time allocation across teams.

Team admin responsibilities

A Team Admin can:

• Add/remove members from their team
• Adjust time allocation
• Create issues for their team
• Manage team settings

They cannot:

• Modify project-level settings
• Manage other teams
• Invite members to the project

See Assign roles and change access.

Best practices

Use time allocation to model cross-functional work

Create teams by function (Frontend, Backend, Design, QA)

Or create teams by discipline (Engineering, Product, Sales)

Keep team sizes manageable (3–12 people)
