A team is a generic construct for grouping a set of people. People are members of a team. Teams can be empty or contain one or more members.
Teams can optionally exist in a hierarchal tree structure. In this context, teams have a single parent team and optionally one or multiple child teams. A person can thus be considered a member of a team in two different ways:
directly by being an explicit member of a team, or
indirectly by being a member of a child team.
What are the different types of teams in TeamForm?
A person can be placed in two different types of teams in TeamForm or otherwise known as a matrix model.
Supply team - Used to represent the common grouping of where people are from and/or share similar capabilities. Common examples of this are Business Divisions and their associated reporting lines or capability groups, chapters, practices, etc.
Demand team - Used to represent where the work is being done often known as squads, teams, teams of teams, Tribes, Sub-Domains, Value Streams, etc.
These two “dimensions” come alive in what are called Cross-Functional Teams. In the example above, people have different specialities or functions organised across different Practices and Chapters. They come together as cross-functional teams that are organised within Crews and Squads.
