​
Overview

In Pike, teams are designed to empower every group within your organization, whether it’s marketing, sales, engineering, customer support, or any other function. You can find teams in the sidebar in two ways: under the Workspace section or through the dedicated Teams dropdown menu. This accessibility ensures that you can easily navigate to the teams relevant to your work.

​
Team Details

Within the Teams section, you will find a comprehensive list of all teams in the workspace, along with essential details such as:
  • Title: The name of the team.
  • Acronym: A short representation of the team name (e.g., ENG for Engineering).
  • Icon: A custom icon to visually identify the team.
  • Color: A unique color scheme for the team.
  • Members: A list of individuals who are part of the team.
  • Created At: The date when the team was established.
  • Membership: Information regarding the type of membership (e.g., active, pending).
In the Teams dedicated dropdown menu on the sidebar, you can quickly access the team’s tasks and projects, streamlining your workflow and enhancing collaboration.

​
Creating and Editing Teams

Only administrators have the ability to create, edit, or delete teams. When creating a new team, you will need to fill out the following fields:
  • Acronym: A short representation of the team name for quick reference (example ENG for team Engineering)
  • Title: The full name of the team.
  • Description: A brief overview of the team’s purpose and objectives.
  • Icon: Choose from a variety of icons to make your team easily identifiable.
  • Color: Select a unique color scheme for your team to enhance visual distinction.
  • Members: You can add members to the team during the creation process, ensuring that the right people are included from the start.

​
Deleting Teams

To delete a team, administrators should navigate to the team settings and follow the deletion process. For more information about team deletion and recovery options, please refer to the Settings/Trash documentation.

​
Team Labels

Labels are powerful tools for organizing tasks within teams. Each team can have its own set of labels, making it easier to categorize and track tasks. Here’s how labels enhance team organization:

​
Label Features

  • Custom Colors: Each label can have its own color for easy visual identification
  • Team-Specific: Labels are scoped to specific teams, preventing confusion across different teams
  • Flexible Categorization: Labels can be used to create custom List / Board task views, where tasks are automatically grouped into columns based on their assigned labels. This provides a visual workflow management system tailored to your team’s needs.

​
Example Labels

Here are some common label examples with their typical colors:
  • 🔴 Bug (Red)
  • 🟢 Feature (Green)
  • 🔵 Documentation (Blue)

​
Collaborate Across Teams

Pike facilitates collaboration by allowing projects to be shared across multiple teams. This feature enhances the potential for cross-team collaboration, enabling diverse groups to work together effectively on shared objectives.

​
Team Management

As an admin, you have exclusive authority to:
  • Create new teams
  • Edit team details (title, description, icon, color, acronym)
  • Manage team membership
  • Create and manage team-specific labels
  • Delete teams (with recovery options in Settings/Trash)
This administrative control ensures proper team organization and maintenance while allowing team members to focus on their specific responsibilities.
