Create or add a team

Azure DevOps Server 2019

This article explains how to create new teams, add members, configure team settings, and follow best practices for team management in Azure DevOps.

As your organization grows, add teams to manage specific products, services, or feature areas. Equip teams with tools to manage backlogs, plan sprints, configure dashboards, define alerts, and set team favorites.

Each new project includes a default team named after the project that you can rename or reassign as needed.

To maintain Agile practices while scaling teams, review Scale Agile to Large Teams. For more information on team-configurable tools, see About teams and Agile tools.

Note

This article explains how to add teams or team members to an Azure DevOps project. For information on Microsoft Teams or integrating it with Azure Boards, see Welcome to Microsoft Teams or Use the Azure Boards app in Microsoft Teams.

Prerequisites

Category Requirements
Permissions - Member of the Project Administrators security group.
- To add members to a team or change its configuration, be a team administrator or member of the Project Administrators group.

Create a team and add team members

To create a team, do the following steps.

Note

When you create a team, you can automatically generate the Area Path as a child node of the main project. To establish a hierarchical team structure, first define the Area Paths at the project level, then create your teams, and assign the appropriate Area Paths to each team. For more information, see Configure a hierarchy of teams.

Select the Current UI tab. The New Teams Page UI is only available for Azure DevOps Services.

Upon creation of a team, the following items are automatically configured:

  • Security group with the team name containing the members assigned to the team, for example, [Fabrikam Fiber]\Production Planning. You can use this name to filter queries or to @mention all members of the team.
  • Default notifications assigned to the team. For more information, see Manage notifications for a team, project, or organization.
  • Default dashboard named Overview assigned to the team. To configure the dashboard, see Add widgets to a dashboard.

Important

Configuring the Area Paths and Iteration Paths used by the team is essential for many of the Azure Board tools to work, such as Backlogs, Boards, Sprints, and Delivery Plans. Team tools aren't available until the team's default area path is set. Area Paths and Iteration Paths are first configured for the project and then assigned or selected by the team.

If you are moving from one team to two or more teams, you may want to review and revise the Area Paths assigned to the default project team.

To configure other team features, see Manage teams and configure team tools.

Set the default project team

Each project has a default team assigned. You can change which project is assigned as the default with the following procedures.

Choose the Current UI tab. The New Teams Page UI is only available for Azure DevOps Services.

Grant team members permissions

For teams to work autonomously, give them permissions that they don't have by default. Suggested tasks include providing team administrators or team leads permissions to:

For more information on setting permissions and access for select users, see Set permissions and access for work tracking.

If your deployment is integrated with SQL Server Reports, you need to Grant permissions to view or create SQL Server reports to team members.
