Team Hierarchy, top-level Organization view, improved Analytics, and more

Team Hierarchy

You can now organize teams in a hierarchical structure. Create sub-teams within your teams, sub-teams within sub-teams, and so on—you can have as many levels as needed to reflect your organization's hierarchy properly.

This feature is available in the Business and Enterprise plans. However, we made improvements for users of other plans as well. The new top-level Organization view (please see below) enables most Teamplify features on two organizational levels: the entire company and individual teams. And if you need more than two levels, you can always upgrade to a higher plan.

Access roles

The permissions of these two access roles now propagate down through the team hierarchy:

• Team Supervisor – can manage a team and all its sub-teams, create and remove sub-teams, manage their members and settings;
• Team Member – can see their team and all its sub-teams but can't change anything except their own profile.

New top-level Organization view

With this update, your organization workspace in Teamplify starts looking more like a large team where you can create sub-teams. Team Calendar, Team Analytics, and Notifications management are now available and work similarly on both the team and organization levels, with more features to come.

We moved stuff around in the main navigation panel to make it happen. It's not too bad, we promise 🙂 Organization membership, feedback sessions, and workspace settings have migrated to the top-level organization view, which is available here:

So, if you can't find something in its usual place in the main navigation panel, simply click the organization name in the top left corner, and it should be there.

Upgraded Team Analytics

Team Analytics is now available from the top-level organization view and fully supports team hierarchy. You can start by viewing the entire company and then dive deeper to see a particular team or its sub-teams:

Besides teams, you can see individual contributor analytics, which includes Productivity and Teamwork sections:

Our philosophy about developer metrics is that they can be helpful but should be used with caution. This is why we don't present you with as many metrics as possible; instead, we provide a carefully curated set of the most valuable metrics. Some of them make sense only on the team level, while others are more relevant to individuals, and our analytics dashboards reflect that.

New "Compact" mode for Team Calendar

Team Calendar is now available in two modes - Detailed and Compact. If you have been using Teamplify already, you should be familiar with the Detailed view:

The Compact view, as its name suggests, is more compact so that more people and more days can fit on the screen at once. It doesn't show work activity data, but it could be more useful for a larger team when you need to plan ahead with vacations and holidays in mind:

You can switch between these views anytime, although please note that the detailed view can't show more than 50 team members at a time due to technical limitations.

Streamlined Notifications management

We simplified the notification management interface and enabled independent notification schedules for each team. You can find it under the Settings tab, both for the top-level Organization view and the Team-level view:

As before, there are two notification levels; we just slightly adjusted how they work:

• Organization-wide notifications apply to all teams and organization members. You can configure them on the top-level Organization view (please note that the Organization admin access role is required);
• Team-level notifications can be configured for each team in its settings, and now, they can have their own schedule, which may vary across the teams. Please note that team-level notifications only add something new for this particular team but never override organization-wide notifications. Also, they don't propagate to sub-teams, so each sub-team can have its own notification configuration.
