Manage and administer next-gen projects
Are you on the right help page?
The following information only applies to team-managed projects.
To check which type project you need help with, look at the bottom of your project’s left-hand sidebar:
If you see an icon stating You’re in a team-managed project with Give feedback and Learn more menu items, you're in a team-managed project.
If you don't, you're in a company-managed project. Check out our company-managed project documentation.
By default, anyone with product access to Jira Software can create a team-managed software project. Unlike company-managed projects, team-managed projects don't share their configuration with any other project on your Jira site. And, you make updates without worrying about affecting other software projects on your Jira site.
With team-managed software projects, anyone can manage their own work, their team’s work, and their working processes, without having to reach out to a Jira admin for help.

If you want to migrate an existing company-managed project to a team-managed project, or the other way around, check out our tutorial on converting a project to a different template or type.
Here’s what’s different in your team-managed project:
Issue types. You can define your team’s work by creating issue types unique to your team’s working process. These issue types have their own workflows, which are unique to your project. You can quickly update or change the fields your team uses to describe each type of work.
Fields. Fields you create for your issue types are available to every issue type in your project. They’re unique to your project only. You can still use them to filter for issues across your Jira site or in dashboard gadgets. But, they belong solely to your project.
Access and permissions. Team-managed projects prioritize access based on project roles that are unique to your project. You can assign individual people and groups to roles in your project to control their access.
Features. You can experiment with different working styles by enabling and disabling agile features, like backlogs, sprints, estimations, or releases and versions. Use as many as your team needs, whenever they need them, and turn off the rest to help you focus.
