Team Management
Team Management is a powerful tool designed to enhance collaboration within an organization by allowing for the mapping of organization teams. You can distribute work items to teams across different projects.
Assigning Work Items to Teams
Team Management is available in newly created projects. In each project, there is a default Team tracker called Teams. The teams are the items of this tracker.
There is a new Team field in each work tracker. By default, these fields can reference any item from a Teams tracker in the project. To assign a work item to a specific team, that team must be added to the Team field.
Team Members
Team memberships can be dynamically managed based on work item assignments.When a work item is assigned to a team, the assignee becomes a member of that team automatically. The membership is temporary and ceases when the work item is no longer assigned to the team. Statistics on the planner and release stats page reflect this dynamic membership rule, ensuring data is current and accurate.
Configuration for Existing Projects
To use Team Management in an existing project:
1. Create a Team tracker to define the necessary teams.
2. Add a Team field to each tracker to which the various teams can be assigned. Suggested configuration:
 | Custom Team fields are not supported in Scaled Agile Framework. |
Teams on Planner
To utilize the Planner for assigning items and managing team hierarchies, you can:
• Access the team hierarchy of the projects through the new tab added to the left panel of the Planner.
• Select a team from the list to filter the issues accordingly.
• Assign an issue to a team by moving the item to the corresponding row in the team hierarchy.
• Directly edit the Team field within the table to assign teams to issues.
Teams Statistics on Release Dashboard
