Global Teams

You can create teams in the Home (root) box and assign them to lower-level boxes.

 

Team Configuration

Your Teams are not created automatically. This means that you need to create Teams in a Box:

The team configuration panel is located on the right.

Details tab

Team name

The team name is used for identifying teams by the App's modules. It is displayed together with the Team code in the Resources, Board, and Roadmap modules to indicate the team's swimlane and in the Team picker's drop-down when configuring Box-level teams.

Team code and color

Team code is used for identifying teams by the App's modules and, when synchronized, also the Host and connected platforms. Depending on the configuration, the Team code is stored as the following fields:

  • Labels type

  • Select list – single choice type

  • --none-- (not synchronized)

You can use these fields in your JQL to create a Jira Board dedicated to a specific team or as Quick Filters.

Team board link

Link the team to its Jira Board to quickly switch between different views. Based on this link, the App can auto-configure the Sub-Box scope synchronization and create sprints on the selected Jira Agile Board.

Membership period

Your resources can be shared across different teams in the same period of time or can be fully allocated to a single team. This can be set using memberships and the availability of the team members. The capacity of your resource will depend on the current membership.

Availability

Calculation of an individual resource's capacity takes into account the availability of the member across all Teams.

Availability impacts capacity based on Workload plans and the number of non-working days. Currently, there is no validation of the availability across different teams, which means that total availability across different teams may exceed 100% (a warning icon appears).

An individual's capacity in the Resources module is calculated dynamically and will change depending on the applied Team filter.

Edit details of a team member

Click on a team member's name to select them:
