Achieving big things often requires a big network of collaborators from your organization. Use our Network of Teams Trello Template with the Network of Teams Play to map out adjacent teams and their key stakeholders to identify those critical to the success of your team’s work.
“The community team used this Play during our offsite as we prepped for planning and it was so valuable. We now have relationships we can foster and action on…to get us ahead of the game.”

Senior Program Manager, Community & University, Atlassian
