Work stream people
See who owns a work stream and who works on it, and add or remove people and teams.
The People tab shows who is accountable for a work stream and who is working on it. The stream’s owner and its gate approvers are chosen from the people listed here, so keeping the list accurate keeps the rest of the stream running smoothly.
A work stream’s people are drawn from the project’s roster. Adding someone from outside the project puts them on the project too.
Before you start
Open a work stream, then select the People tab.
Everyone who can see the work stream can read the list. Changing the owner, and adding or removing people and teams, is shown only to people who can manage the stream’s members.
Understanding the tab
| Section | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Owner | The person accountable for the work stream. Shows No owner set when empty. |
| Teams | The teams added to the stream. Every member of an added team works on it. |
| People | Everyone working on the stream: each person’s name and job title, and whether they came in with a team (via the team’s name) or were Added directly. |
| Count | How many people are on the stream, including team members. |
Set or change the owner
- Select Set owner, or Change if the stream already has an owner.
- Search the people on this work stream and select one.
You can only choose someone who is already on the work stream.
Add a team
- Select Add team at the top right of the tab.
- Search for the team and select it. Teams are listed in two groups: On this project and Elsewhere in the organisation.
Every member of the team now works on this stream. Adding a team from elsewhere in the organisation puts it on the project too.
Add a person
- Select Add person at the top right of the tab.
- Search for the person and select them. People already on the project are listed first, then people from elsewhere in the organisation.
Adding someone from outside the project puts them on the project too.
Remove a team or a person
To remove a team, select its remove button and confirm. Its members are no longer on this work stream through that team, but they stay on the project.
To remove a person who was added directly:
- Hover over their row and select the remove icon.
- Select Remove to confirm.
They stay on the project, and you can add them back at any time.
What happens next
The people on this tab can be chosen as the stream’s owner and named as approvers for its gates. See Pipeline and approvals.
