# Setting Up Your Teams

## Organize Your Collaboration Groups

Teams in Aude represent the actual working groups in your organization—the people who collaborate daily, regardless of reporting structure. While your org chart shows who reports to whom, teams show who works together.

## Team Structure

Each team consists of:

* Team Name
* Team Leader(s)
* Team Members
* Team Description

## Common Team Configurations

* Project Teams (e.g., "Checkout Service Team")
* Product Teams (e.g., "Mobile App Team")
* Feature Teams (e.g., "Search Experience")
* Platform Teams (e.g., "Infrastructure")

## Key Concepts

* Users can belong to multiple teams
* Teams can have multiple leaders
* Team membership is independent of reporting relationships
* Performance insights are shared with team leaders
* Teams can be time-bound (for project teams) or permanent

## Best Practices

* Mirror your actual working structure, not just the org chart
* Create teams that align with how work gets done
* Keep teams small enough to maintain strong collaboration (typically 5-12 members)
* Consider cross-functional team members who regularly contribute.
