Configure teams and releases

Teams and releases are configured within a workspace. To configure team and release settings, click Configuration on the top right of the page, and select Workspace from the navigation menu on the left.

You can configure two types of teams: workspace teams to share across all releases in the workspace, and feature teams to be used within the scope of a single release only.

Workspace teams

Feature teams

Reused in multiple releases. Tab: Workspace > Teams Administrators define a workspace team's settings, and users can track the team's performance across releases. Backlog items are assigned to teams irrespective of the release assignment. This means that if you change a backlog item's release, and the item is assigned to a workspace team, the item retains the same team assignment.

Created and used only in the scope of a single release. Tab: Workspace > Releases. Click Teams, and then click a team name. If you want to later reuse a release team in a different release, administrators can convert it to a workspace team, and then assign it to the other release. Backlog items are assigned to teams within a specific release. This means that if you change a backlog item's release, and the backlog item is assigned to a feature team in the release, the team value is cleared.

Workspace teams and feature teams function the same in the following situations:

• When assigning backlog items to teams from the Add Item dialog box
  (when you first add the backlog item)
• When assigning backlog items to teams by using the Team column in grids
• When filtering grids or views by team
