<aside> 💡 Create a Teams directory in your Company Wiki! Each team can use this template to introduce their team details.
Everyone in your company should be able to find out who is on a team, the key things the team is focusing on and how to work with them.
Think of this page as the welcome mat for your team’s source of truth — the relevant team information that the rest of your company should know about and have access to.

You may also want to link out to more personal details for each team member, as a fun way to get to know people across your company.
Teams can be cross-functional and don’t always represent line reporting org charts, so use the template below to show the different roles in your team and where reporting lines may fall, or sub-teams may exist.*

This helps to give others context if they have dependencies that require support from your team.
Many teams use goals to help articulate what they are working to achieve over a specified timeframe. You can customise the template below to highlight your main goals and the most important metrics you track as a team.*

<aside> <img src="/icons/info-alternate_purple.svg" alt="/icons/info-alternate_purple.svg" width="40px" /> *While goals are where you are heading, people are also interested in what you’re working on right now. Easily share this with a broad audience using the planning template below.
This template helps your team to break down each bigger priority into smaller tasks that you can assign to different team members and get a quick visual of how much WIP there is across all priorities.
It also gives people outside your team an opportunity to add to, comment and collaborate on the tasks that need to be done.*
