Team Management

This topic introduces Team Management.

What is a team?

A team is a subset of people in your organization that cooperate with each other to work on tasks.

A team is normally cross-functional, and can have subsets.
A team is assigned to a backlog of prioritized work items.
To accomplish the work assigned to a team is a team goal and the team members get a shared ownership of the goal.

Why use Team Management?

In agile and DevOps transformations, some organizations start using Spotify or SAFe mode to scale the agile practices across the organization. Instead of assigning work to single resources, they assign work to a team and then the team work together to figure out how they are going to divide and collaborate. PPM Team Management enables you as a team owner to set up your team, plan work for your team, and monitor team utilization and costs.
