Private teams are a clean way of having teams that aren't visible to anyone other than the team members (even other organisation leaders). These might be useful for:
- Owner team work which needs to be separated from the work of organisation leaders as it contains sensitive financial information
- Personal coaching & mentoring with an Adapt Coach
- Team leader to team member for performance management, coaching, goal setting etc.
To create one, use the Private Team option when adding a team:
A private team is noted in the organisation map like so:
Or in the team tab sidebar like so:
Some things to note:
- The functionality is identical to a normal team. It has all the features of normal teams such as Kanban, peer catch ups, objectives, assessments, etc
- People who can see the complete contents of the team:
- The members of the team
- The Adapt Coach
- People who can see the existence of the team:
- People with one of the following permissions
- Configure features for any team in the organisation
- Edit value streams and key functions for the organisation
- Can only see the team name and who is in it and their roles). All other information such as work tickets, meetings, peer catch ups, objectives, etc are completely private.
- We allow this small window into their existence to keep a little transparency and accountability around their creation
- These permissions are generally available on the ‘Collaborator + Administrator’, ‘Leader’ and ‘Leader + Administrator’ access levels.
- People with one of the following permissions
- Create private teams with care and only for the discussion of very sensitive information. You can keep Kanban boards and catchups private from the rest of an organisation using normal team settings and this is the preferred way to run a team.
