ManageTeam: The Invisible Pillar of Successful Organizations

In the fast-paced world of software development, how you design teams, who you staff them with, the goals you set, are all crucial elements to ensure success. And yet, managing teams in a structured manner often receives little focus.

Why ManageTeam?
Imagine waiting weeks for a list of all teams and their compositions at a large corporation. Or not knowing the 'age' of each team and the member 'churn' rate. These are common issues that many organizations face. Despite significant investments in human capital and projects, the focus on teams is often lacking. ManageTeam addresses this gap with a unique SaaS solution that places teams at the core of its functionality.

Managing Team Composition

  • Create team hierarchies (e.g., squad -> tribe -> department) and map people in your organization to these teams.
  • Integrate natively with your Active Directory or HR system to automatically track new hires and roll-offs.
  • Move team members with a single click, making it easier to track team composition than updating spreadsheets.

Team Capabilities

  • Track core members, upcomers, and role players within each team.
  • Specify skill proficiency for each team member, whether technical, domain-specific, or managerial.
