Team Overview and Invitations

This concept covers the people side of PlanMagnet: a Team Overview page that answers who is contributing and how they are grouped, and an Invite Team Member form that brings a new colleague into the workspace. Both sit under a Team entry in the main module navigation, which expands into Overview and Invite Member so the two tasks sit side by side.

The problem it addresses is the team roster that drifts away from the work. In many organizations the list of who belongs to which team is kept by hand in a directory or spreadsheet, and it rarely matches who is actually picking up tasks. The design takes a different approach: the overview is built from the work itself. Its guidance messages explain that teams are grouped from projects and that members appear once work items are assigned to them, so the roster reflects real contribution rather than a separately maintained list.

The first illustration shows the overview in its empty state, with a summary line counting contributors across teams and two sections, Teams and Members, each carrying a plain explanation of what will fill it. The second illustration shows the invitation form: an email address field, then three dropdowns for role, department and team, with Cancel and Send Invite actions at the top. The defaults visible in the illustration, a developer role in an engineering department with no team selected, suggest a form designed to be completed in seconds.

Both screens sit inside the same app shell as the rest of the product, with a context selector for organization, workspace and project, a product switcher, a language selector, search, help, notifications and a theme toggle in the top bar, and a breadcrumb trail above the page. Because membership belongs to the workspace, an invited colleague is designed to join the same workspace that holds the team's projects, sprints and boards, and the people counted here are the same people whose assignments drive the delivery dashboards and sprint plans elsewhere in PlanMagnet.
