You can use our MS Teams app to get weekly digests for all the projects and goals you’re following. Give stakeholders context—even if they aren’t Team Central users yet— by searching for specific projects and goals to share with link previews. Plus, project leads can post updates straight from MS Teams to maintain healthy team-to-team communication habits.

How do you get it?

Reach out to your MS Teams admin to get this up and running now.

 

📢 Automatically push updates to connected Slack channels

Building on our existing integration with Slack, we shipped the highly-requested capability to connect your projects and goals to Slack channels.

Help all your stakeholder groups go from FOMO to in-the-know directly from Slack by automatically sharing any new updates in connected channels.

How do you set it up?

From Team Central, connect channels to Projects/Goals via the Followers dialog. You can also use the /teamcentral connect command inside Slack or drop a Team Central link in a message and connect in one click.

👤 Quickly see how teammates fit in with richer profile previews

The bigger a company gets, the harder it is to understand how everything fits together. That’s why we’re making it quicker and easier to get even more context on your teammates—wherever you see their name.

Let’s say you’re looking at a project homepage and you want to learn more about a contributor. If your admin has synced people and teams from your identity provider into Team Central, you'll now be able to see an individual’s manager and direct reports right from their profile preview. These enriched profiles & profile previews are also available in Jira and Confluence cloud. 😍

 

➕ Create new teams and ask new questions from anywhere

As organizations respond to change, squads of cross-functional teams are continuously formed to work on shared objectives, and they often need to learn from other teams. That’s why we’ve made creating new teams and asking new questions quicker and easier.

You can now quickly form teams or ask a question to learn from others using the :new: button from any screen in Team Central.

 

:bulb: Get inspiration from how LaunchDarkly and Turnitin use Team Central

We recently featured our good friends Jonathan Nolen from LaunchDarkly, Kim Hanson and Leah Picone from Turnitin in a first-of-its-kind Atlassian Community AMA, where they answered questions on managing Engineering and Product teams and how they use Team Central. Learn from their experiences, ranging from their perspectives on agile methodology to concrete examples of how they run the day-to-day operations for their teams.
