Teams

Who works together, who leads them, and the Jira projects they work on.

Who: everyone sees the teams they're in. Team leaders run their own teams. Managers and administrators (with Manage all teams) create, change and delete any team.

Timesheets are handed in to a team, and its leader reviews them, so everyone who tracks time should be a member of at least one team. A person can be in several.

The Teams page

Open Teams in the sidebar. You see the teams you belong to and the ones you lead; with Manage all teams, every team on the site, and New team. A long list shows 30 teams at a time, with Show more below; search or filter to find one. A team's members are listed 50 at a time the same way.

The Teams page listing teams with their leaders and member counts.

Create a team

Who: managers and administrators.

On the Teams page, choose New team.

Give it a Team name, and optionally a Description, a Type and a Country (when your site operates in more than one, from those countries). Its members take that country's public holidays.

Choose its leader and add its members.

A team's page

Open a team to see its tabs:

  • Overview: the Team leader, the Jira projects the team is responsible for, and its Members.
  • Timesheets and Approvals: for the team's leader, and for anyone who manages all timesheets. See Reviewing timesheets.
  • Approval log: every timesheet submitted to, approved or sent back by the team. For people who manage all timesheets.
A team's Overview tab with its leader, Jira projects and members.

What a leader can change

A team's leader, like a manager, can:

  • edit the team's details (Edit team);
  • Add members and Remove from team;
  • choose its Jira projects (Manage projects). Their list replaces the current one.

Changing who leads a team (Change leader) is for managers and administrators. The previous leader stays on the team as a member.

A team's leader can't hand their own timesheet in to that team, unless your site lets leaders review their own (see Timesheet settings). They hand it in to another team they're a member of.

People who left

When someone's Atlassian account is deactivated or deleted, they stay in their teams with a badge, so their past time still shows. Nothing is expected from them anymore: no reminders, no missing time.
