Creating and Managing Your Teams
What is a team in Allstacks?
A team in Allstacks is a flexible concept that can represent individual scrum/agile teams, a division or business unit, or the entire engineering organization.
Setting Up and Managing Your Teams
Teams create the intersection of tools and employees (data contributors) that you want to report on. To view your existing teams or create a new team, read on.
New Team Category:
Will allow you to create a new category to direct teams into. Note that this is strictly for organizational purposes and is no used in metric generation or grouping. Use the “Edit Category” selection, pictured above, to move a team into a category.
New Team:
This selection will prompt you to name your team, and will direct you to the team Tools page in the next section.
Tools and Resources
Connecting and Disconnecting:
To include or remove services from a team, click “Connect” or “Disconnect” in the left-most column of the table below. Once a service is connected, you can further filter down to a subset of the service by selecting “Configure Resources”
Settings to be aware of:
The toggle next to the enabled count will disable all children within a grouping. It needs to be enabled for any of the enabled children to be displayed in your.
Automatically enable new projects (repos, etc): When you create new projects or repositories in your source tools, Allstacks will download and process data from them automatically.
Note: If a project or repository is missing from your service at the team-level, confirm it is connected at the organization-level.
Team (Contributor) Management
Via Tags:
With our December 2022 update, users can set a tag to represent a team’s roster. Select “Enable Contributors by Tag”, select the name of the tag, and the users will automatically populate. To update the roster within the tag, navigate to Employee Management in the top right of the screen.

Via Traditional Roster Management:
Team Management determines how metrics are filtered to employees by default. Enable your team members by selecting the toggle in the status column, or select multiple via the checkboxes in the left-most column.
Note: If an employee is missing from the list of available employees, confirm they are enabled at the organization-level.
Now that your team has the correct roster and tools connected, click one of the links below to learn how to use your data.
