In Jira Software, the terms “Team-Managed” and “Company-Managed” refer to different project management approaches that organizations can adopt based on their preferences and requirements.
These approaches impact how projects are configured, controlled, and managed within the Jira environment.
Team-Managed Projects:
- Key Characteristics:
- Simplicity: Team-Managed projects are designed to be lightweight and easy to set up, making them suitable for teams that prefer a simplified project management approach.
- Flexibility: They offer flexibility in terms of configuring workflows, permissions, and settings at the project level, giving teams autonomy to manage their own work.
- Configuration:
- Project Configuration: Configuration settings are managed at the project level, allowing teams to customize workflows, issue types, and other project-specific settings.
- Permission Control: Permissions are managed within the project, enabling teams to control who can access and perform actions within the project.
- Use Case:
- Team-Managed projects are often suitable for small to medium-sized teams that require autonomy in managing their work without complex administrative overhead.
Company-Managed Projects:
- Considerations:
- Complexity vs. Autonomy: Team-Managed projects offer simplicity and autonomy for individual teams, while Company-Managed projects provide a more structured and controlled environment suitable for larger organizations.
- Scalability: Company-Managed projects are often more scalable for larger enterprises with a need for standardized processes and governance.
- Adoption: The choice between Team-Managed and Company-Managed projects depends on the organization’s size, structure, and the level of control and standardization required.
When creating a new project in JIRA Software, you can choose between these project types based on your team’s preferences and organizational needs.
