LinearB Team Grouping
Updated
LinearB now allows you to group your different teams. Grouping teams allows managers to see group activity across multiple teams.
How to add groups
Groups can be created and edited from your company settings page. Click the gear icon to access company settings, then navigate to the Teams and Contributors tab. From there, click "Add a Group".
From here you can name your group, and select which teams to combine into your group. You can also select specific users to add to a group, such as a team lead or an individual contributor who works on multiple teams. After selecting your teams and team members to group, click Save!
Linking or adding a team to a group
Once groups are created, existing teams can be linked to a group by clicking the 
icon next to the Group, and selecting the users or Teams you wish to add.
Nested Groups!
Groups can contain groups! Note that when you are creating or editing a group, you can nest additional groups inside of any group. This can be helpful for sub-teams, such as the front-end and back-end teams for a single product, or all the developers in a specific region.
Set your Root Group
Root groups will be the default group view as you move through the LinearB system. This allows you to filter out teams irrelevant to your work, and allows a more focused experience inside the LinearB application. Your default dashboards, teams, activity, and metrics views will only show data relevant to your root group.
To set a root group, click the 
icon next to your desired group, then click "Set as Root".
What do group dashboards look like?
Dashboard View
The Home page for a Group work just like Team dashboards. Hover over individual components to see a pencil icon that can be used to select different information to show. You will see a list of the teams which make up the Group and can see stats for each individual Team in the table view.
Metrics view
Combined metrics views now allow you to see both individual team and also group results together. Select the group or individual teams from the team dropdown in metrics tabs. The group result will be the combined metrics of all teams and individuals linked to the group.
