Teams

New Teamplify workspaces come with a single default team called "Developers," but you can create as many additional teams as needed. To add a team, click the workspace name in the main menu and select Teams. From there, you can create or reorganize teams, or even set up Nested teams.

You can add a member to a team in two ways:

  1. Click the team name in the main menu, select Members, and then click Add a member.
  2. Alternatively, open the user's profile, go to Membership, and add a team position from there.

Understanding positions

In Teamplify, user Positions serve two purposes: tracking team membership and defining job titles within the organization. You can specify both a Team and a Title, or just one of them. If no team is specified, the position only reflects the user's job title and does not affect their team membership.

Each position can have a Start date and an End date, both of which are optional. If the Start date is not provided, it defaults to “Unknown date,” indicating that the user has held this position since joining the organization. If the End date is not specified, it defaults to “Until present,” meaning the user is still active in this role.

Being a member of multiple teams

Teamplify does not limit the number of teams a user can join. A user can belong to a single team, multiple teams, or no team at all. For each team membership, you can specify a distinct position title and optionally include start and end dates.

Nested teams

Nested teams allow you to build a multi-level hierarchy that mirrors your organization’s structure. This premium feature is available on paid Teamplify plans. With nested teams, you can:

  • View aggregated Team Analytics at any level of the hierarchy and easily drill down to sub-teams or individual contributors.
  • See combined data for all sub-teams and members in the Standups, Time Off, Time Tracking, and Members sections of parent teams.
  • Allow users with the Team member access role to view not only teammates at their level but also sub-teams and their members.

To create a nested team, click on the workspace name in the main menu and then select Teams. Next, open the context menu (three-dot icon) next to the team name and choose Add a sub-team. To move a sub-team to a different parent team, select Move from its context menu.
