Organize Jira teams easily with Report Builder: our guide

Now first insert the name of the team (1). Then you need to specify a Team Lead (2). This person will act as the administrator of the team. Finally, the description of the team (3) is optional, but highly recommended to keep track of many teams.

Step 4: Click on the team name, and you will see more descriptions and configuration options. For example, you can now add multiple users to your team in a bulk operation.

Step 5: As an example, we add all Jira software users to our test team.

Step 6: In the after overview you can now see the individual members, their role, and their commitment, i.e., whether they are assigned to a project 100% or less. In addition, you can see when the user joined or left the team.

Step 7: To perfectly serve the specific needs of your company or workspace, you can, of course, add people individually. To do this, first click on Add Members (1) and then fill out the screen (2).

Step 8: The real power of the tool is in the versatile linking options. First, select the Add Link function, and you can add different projects (2) and/or boards (3) to the team.

Step 9: To make teamwork as effective as possible, add external links as sources that all team members can access.

Step 10: The main overview allows you to filter teams by members, team leads or texts. This gives you a comprehensive impression of the existing structures. You can now easily create numerous reports based on these teams.
