Teams

Organize your company into teams to structure OKR ownership, collaborate effectively, and track progress at the group level.

Creating Teams

Only Company Admins can create new teams. To create a team:

  1. 1Navigate to the Teams section from the main sidebar
  2. 2Click "Create Team" to open the team creation form
  3. 3Fill in the team name, choose a color, and configure initial settings
  4. 4Add initial team members (you can also add members later)

Team Properties

Each team has a set of configurable properties that help identify and organize it within your company:

Name

A unique, descriptive name that identifies the team across the platform. Choose something clear like "Engineering", "Marketing", or "Product Design".

Color

A brand color assigned to the team. This color appears on team badges, OKR cards, and calendar events for quick visual identification.

Status

Teams can be set to Active or Inactive. Inactive teams are hidden from most views but their historical data is preserved.

Adding Team Members

Team Admins and Company Admins can add members to a team. Members must already have an account in your Leemu organization.

  1. 1Open the team you want to add members to
  2. 2Click "Add Member" to open the member selector
  3. 3Search for and select the user(s) you want to add
  4. 4Assign a role (Admin or Member) and confirm

Note: A user can belong to multiple teams simultaneously. This is useful for cross-functional contributors who work across departments.

Team Roles

Each team member is assigned one of two roles that determine their permissions within the team:

Team Admin

  • Manage team settings and properties
  • Add and remove team members
  • Assign and change member roles
  • Create, edit, and delete team OKRs
  • View all team analytics and reports

Team Member

  • View team OKRs and progress
  • Create and manage their own OKRs within the team
  • Submit check-ins on assigned key results
  • Participate in team discussions

Team-Specific OKRs

Teams can own their own OKRs that are distinct from individual or company-level objectives. Team OKRs provide a shared focus for the group.

Ownership

Team OKRs are owned by the team as a whole, not by a single individual. Any team admin can manage them.

Alignment

Team OKRs can be aligned to company-level strategic goals, creating a clear hierarchy from company vision down to team execution.

Visibility

Team OKRs are visible to all team members and company admins. Other teams can also view them for cross-team alignment.

Managing Team Settings

Team Admins and Company Admins can access team settings to update the team's configuration:

  • Rename the team to reflect organizational changes
  • Change the team color for visual identification across the platform
  • Set team status to Active or Inactive as needed
  • Manage membership by adding or removing members and adjusting roles

Removing Members

Team Admins and Company Admins can remove members from a team. When a member is removed:

  • They lose access to the team's private OKRs and settings
  • Any OKRs they owned within the team remain but can be reassigned
  • Their historical check-ins and contributions are preserved
  • They remain in the company organization and can be re-added later

Best Practices for Team Organization

  • Mirror your actual organizational structure -- create teams that match real departments or squads
  • Keep team sizes manageable (5-15 members) for focused OKR tracking
  • Assign at least two Team Admins per team for continuity when one is unavailable
  • Use distinct colors for each team to make dashboards and reports easy to scan
  • Set inactive teams to Inactive instead of deleting them to preserve historical data
  • Align team OKRs to company strategic goals to maintain a clear line of sight from vision to execution
