Teams

A team is a named group of members with a short key. Teams can own boards, sprints and goals, which is how an organisation running one cadence still gives each group its own view of it.

A team is made of members — people with a login. It is not a department: a department is a property of somebody's engagement and belongs to the HR record, where reporting slices by it. The two overlap in most organisations and are deliberately not the same field.

Teams are maintained under Settings → Structure, alongside cost centres. A team pushed from your identity provider through directory provisioning is marked as such and cannot be renamed here — a change would be undone by the next sync, so it is refused rather than silently reverted.
