# Teams

Teams are Haystack's abstraction layer on top of JIRA & version control.

## Create Team

See all your team members work in a single place to identify risks, blockers & more by creating a team on Haystack. To do so, follow the steps below!

**1. Give your team a name and select your teams JIRA board from the dropdown**

**2. Select your team members**

Once the board is selected, Haystack will auto-populate your team members. Any member who was assigned, created or reported an issue in the last 30 days inside the board is automatically included in the team. We suggest double checking this list to ensure your team members are setup correctly.

**3. Map your team members Git & Slack**

Haystack will also automatically map your members Git & Slack accounts to JIRA account. You will also now want to manually map any members Haystack could not automatically map.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.usehaystack.io/setup/teams.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
