Create a new team from Advanced Roadmaps
This page refers to Advanced Roadmaps, which is a cross-project planning tool only available as part of Jira Software Cloud Premium and Enterprise.
We have a separate section for documentation about the project timeline that’s included in all Jira Software plans. Go to the documentation for project-level roadmaps in Jira Software.
Changes to teams in Jira Software and Advanced Roadmaps
The content on this page refers to the new Teams functionality which started rolling out in August 2023, and is still rolling out across Advanced Roadmaps. Learn more about the new Teams functionality in Advanced Roadmaps.
How do I know if my site has the new teams functionality?
If the Teams page mentions Shared teams anywhere, then the new feature hasn’t reached your site yet. Until that happens, content about shared teams in Advanced Roadmaps can be found on a separate page. Learn more about shared teams in Advanced Roadmaps.
When creating a team from Advanced Roadmaps, you can choose to add a team that’ll be visible across your organization, or one that lives entirely in your plan. Plan-only teams can be shared across your entire organization later on.
Once a team is made public, it can’t be un-shared. Learn more about the types of teams in Advanced Roadmaps.
To create a team in your plan:
In the Teams view, navigate to + Add team
Select Create a new team, and choose the type of team you’d like to create. You can create a team that’s Available across organization (also known as an Atlassian team) or a team that’s Plan only.
From here, the process differs slightly.
For Atlassian teams:
On the screen that pops up, enter you team name and add members.
When you’re ready, select Create team, and this new team is now available across your organization. On this confirmation dialogue, you can use View your plan to begin planning with this team, or configure it further using Configure team.
After you select Configure team, you’ll be able to add planning information such as:
Issue source
Planning style (Scrum or Kanban)
if your plan estimates issues in Story points, you’ll only be able to create a Scrum team
Sprint length (Scrum only; Kanban assumes an iteration length of one week)
Capacity
Select Done to save your changes.
For plan-only teams:
On the screen that pops up, enter the following information:
Team name
Team members
Issue source
Planning style (Scrum or Kanban)
if your plan estimates issues in Story points, you’ll only be able to create a Scrum team
Sprint length (Scrum only; Kanban assumes an iteration length of one week)
Capacity
When you’re happy with your team, select Create.
Your team will now be available in your plan. When you’re ready, you can convert it to an Atlassian team, which is visible across your organization. Learn how to convert a plan-only team to an Atlassian team.
