- Click your name from the bottom of the left navigation.
- Click Company Settings or Teams.
- Click Create Team.
- Write the Team's Name.
- Click Add.
Company Settings appears for Owners and Admins. Teams appears for Managers.
Selecting the Team's Type
After creating the Leadership Team, each formed team starts as a departmental team. Learn more about team types below.
Click through the tabs below to learn more about the types of teams you can create.
Leadership Team
Each organization in Ninety has one Leadership Team (LT). The LT creates the organization's Vision, so they're the only team that can edit the Core Values, Purpose/Passion/Just Cause, Compelling and Audacious Goals, and Go to Market Strategy.
The LT can also create Company Rocks to track quarterly goals the whole organization is working toward.
Departmental Team (Default)
These teams have the same functionality as the LT, but they cannot edit the organization's Core Values, Purpose/Passion/Just Cause, Compelling and Audacious Goals, or Go to Market Strategy.
They can create their own Vision to align team members around a shared vision, track long-term goals, and document long-term Issues.
Project Team
Project teams have the same functionality as department teams, except they do not have a Vision. These teams are often formed for a specific interdepartmental purpose.
To turn a team into a Project team:
- Click your name from the left navigation.
- Click Company Settings.
- Click Teams.
- Click the square box in the Project column on the intended team.
Private Team
Private teams are often used for one-on-one feedback meetings between a team leader and their direct reports. Since they're private, only the members assigned to the team can view the content within.
Owners and Implementers still retain viewing privileges for private teams.
To turn a team into a Private team:
- Click your name from the left navigation.
- Click Company Settings.
- Click Teams.
- Click the square box in the Private column on the intended team.
