Creating Teams

The Teams feature in EvolveDev allows you to structure your organization by grouping users, defining reporting hierarchies, and associating specific code repositories with a particular group. This enables team-specific dashboards and helps managers focus on the metrics most relevant to their direct reports.

Initially, only users with the Admin role can create new teams.

Creating a New Team 🆕

Admins can create an unlimited number of teams to accurately reflect your company's structure.

1. To get started, navigate to the Teams hub: Navigation Bar → Admin → Teams
2. Click the "Add Team" button.
3. A form will appear where you need to provide the following details:
   • 📛 Team Name: The official name of the team (e.g., "Platform Core," "Frontend Squad").
   • 📝 Description: A brief explanation of the team's purpose or focus.
   • 👨‍💼 Manager: Select the team's manager from a search dropdown list of existing users in EvolveDev.
   • 🌳 Parent Team: To create a hierarchy, you can select an existing team from a search dropdown to be the parent of this new team. This is useful for rolling up metrics at the department or group level. (This can be left blank if it is a top-level team).
4. Once all the details are filled in, click "Create Team".

Your new team is now created! A dedicated page and dashboard for this team will be populated, which you can start managing immediately. 🎉
