Request for the team leader to prepare responses to two prompts:

What is this team’s purpose? For example: “Unleash the potential of every team with Practices”
How do we fit into the broader vision? For example: “We are contributing to our company mission to unleash the potential of every team. We have a vision of being the experts in teamwork for our customers.”

Your company mission and vision, combined with your business goals, can be a good place to start to define purpose. While keeping this page focused on the team’s remit, linking through to the broader, longer-term vision can inspire your audience and motivate them to collaborate.

Publish the template and save it in your space. Use the status bar at the top of the page near the header to indicate that this is a work in progress. Share the page with the team leader so that they can be prepared with answers to contribute to the conversation. For example: How will we measure success?

Ok- you’re ready to schedule time for the team to run the Play together. Share your draft Team Poster with your team to have each of them add their name, photo, location, role, and if available, link to their User Manual ahead of the meeting in the ‘Meet the team’ section of the Team Poster. Use the ‘/ user profile’ or ‘/ profile picture’ commands to seamlessly connect with team members’ directory listing.

Head to the Atlassian Team Playbook to run the Team Poster play with your team.

Use your Team Poster as your team’s new home page and share it with network teams and stakeholders. You can share the page link directly, or ‘@ mention’ key stakeholders in a page comment to introduce them to the concept of a Team Poster .

Revisit this page every 3 months or at major pivot moments to sense-check if this page still captures the Team correctly. Onboard new contractors, team members, and colleagues to your team quickly by starting here.
