Teams and Roles Page

This configuration page deals with the following.

Global Teams

The Sprint Capacity Planning & Tracking app uses two types of teams, which are app specific and not used by Jira itself: Global Teams (set here by an Administrator, and can be used multiple times in multiple projects and boards), and Board Teams (set by the planner, specific to a Board).

Teams are used for planning and tracking sprint work. They group resources (team members) with their daily development capacity. For example, team Cloud may group four resources (members), each with a planned capacity of 8 hours per day (or story point count, if your process uses those), where two resources are assigned the role of Developer, one the role of QA and the last the role of Design.

To provision Global Teams:

Click on the app admin menu option Teams and Roles
Click New Team → Create.
In the dialog enter a name for the team.
- Click Add.
You can now add (+Add Participant), modify and remove (trash can icon) members in the global team.
For each resource in the team you can set daily commitment, representing the work capacity of that person in hours and/or story points. You can also set a role for the resource.

Roles

The roles are available later to be assigned to sprint participants. This allows you later to review planning and tracking information by the roles you defined.

For example, a team named “Front End”, can have members with roles such as “Designer”, “React Dev”, and QA. When you analyze resources for a specific sprint, you can view planning information by roles, to refine your insights about the your plan. Note that you can define as many role as you need, and that they are not connected to other grouping definition within Jira.

To provision Roles:

Click on the app admin menu option Teams and Roles
Find the section Roles Configuration
In the Roles box, type a name of a role. You can add as many as you want. Note that, as roles are labels, no spaces are allowed within a role name (the order of roles in field is also the drop-down roles order when a team member is assigned a role; First role in in the field will be shown on top of the list (and also be the default role).
When you are done with role modification, click Save.
