The idea of project teams is

  • Applying a rate (price) for work for members of a team via assigning price lists to teams (see Project Team Price Lists). Maybe your developer teams are charged at a different rate compared to project managers or graphic designer teams.
  • Controlling which users can log work for a specific project; this way further refining the general JIRA "work on issues" permission without having to create new permissions schemes, roles or groups on JIRA level (you could also do this by applying a permission scheme to the project in JIRA that assigns the "work on issue" permission based on a project role and you do not assign all users that work on this project to this project role; see https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Managing+Project+Permissions.
  • You might also want to use teams simply to reflect your organisation structure in general of for certain projects.

If you have decided to work with teams & price lists for a project (and the feature is enabled on add-on level, see General Configuration), you can only log work if you are member of a team for a project and this team has a valid price list. There are two ways to create teams and price lists for projects:

  1. Project-specific teams are strictly project-based, i.e. you can build completely different teams for different projects.
  2. Global teams are available to be assigned for any project, they are not managed on a project level, but globally (see Configure Global Teams & Price Lists). 

You can mix both approaches within one project.

Alternative or in addition to creating project-specific teams, you can assign global teams (including their price lists) to a project if you have created such global teams (see Configure Global Teams & Price Lists). This has the same effect like creating project-specific teams, i.e. team members will get the permission to log work for this project and work logs will be registered with the respective rates from the applicable price lists of the global team.
