What is a team in Compass?

A team in Compass is a collection of Atlassian accounts – an Atlassian team. Atlassian teams have members, a profile, work, and resources. The team members collectively work towards achieving a common goal.

Compass uses these Atlassian teams to assign responsibility towards building, maintaining, and functioning of components and to drive best practices that make great software. For example, a team in Compass can have engineers, an engineering team lead, a product manager, and support personnel who are responsible for a component. A team is dynamic. People can move in and out of a team or your organization. You can form these teams to best suit your organization’s structure.

Compass enables you to track and manage a team’s collective output. It also enables your teams to adopt better ways of working with modern, distributed architecture to accomplish the goals defined by their business.
