What is an Atlassian team?
Atlassian apps are designed to help teams work and collaborate to their full potential. Atlassian teams make it easier to communicate and collaborate across projects and platforms.
We continue to release more features and functionality to help improve the way you work on projects with your team.
Your team is the group of people you work with every day to achieve your project goals. This may be a project team, a service team, a leadership team, a rapid response team, or any other type of team.
An Atlassian team is a collection of users that are part of your real-world team. Your team has members, a team profile, work, and team resources.
Why create an Atlassian team
Your Atlassian team lets you collaborate quickly and easily with your project team across most Atlassian apps. With a team, you can:
Track recent work across several apps on the team profile
Share important links and resources
Assign issues to a team in Jira, Jira Product Discovery, and Jira Service Management
Assign ownership of components in Compass
Easily notify all members by @mention the team
Each team also has its own profile page that lets you stay up-to-date with team activity, view recent documents or issues that the team have worked on, display ops rotations from OpsGenie, and share team links to important resources.
How teams work
You can find Atlassian teams in your directory from the Teams menu. Teams you're a member of are also listed on your personal profile page.
Your team’s activity appears in the Worked on section of your team profile page. This section shows 100 of the most recent event actions any member of the team has taken, such as creating a new Confluence page or work item in Jira.
Team members won’t see any documents or issues they don’t already have access to, so you don’t need to worry about sharing any sensitive information.
Atlassian teams are only visible to people with accounts in the same organization.
Team types and configurations
By default, there two types of teams that are available out of the box:
Teams, which can be created by anyone in an organization and, by default, are managed by its members. These teams can have open membership where anyone can join at any time or closed membership where people must request to join or be invited by an existing member.
Official teams, which can only be created and managed by organization admins. These teams are verified with a blue checkmark icon.
Note that these types can be renamed by organization admins and may have a different name in your organization.
Organization admins can create different team types for more specific use-cases or better categorization, and each of these new types will function similarly to Official teams as described above.
