Organizing your staff into teams is one good way to start managing your ChangeRequest. The Teams feature allows you to organize a pool of project managers, developers, designers, quality assurance specialists and any personnel into similar groups.
For example, your company’s software development force consists of 44 employees – 4 of which belong to the PM group while the remaining 40 are combination of programmers, designers, and quality assurance specialists. To put your company and your people’s work in order, you as the Project Manager (someone from the top management) came up with a plan of dividing the development force into teams (management team, programming team, design team and QA team), each having its own Team Lead.
To create a team, do the following:
- Go to Settings > Accounts, Projects and Permissions > Teams. After doing this, a page will appear like the one shown here
Note: Clicking on the Edit button will enable you to edit the information of an existing team. - Click on the Add New Team button.
- In the Team Name box, type that name of team that you are creating.
