Use Lucid’s team spaces to align and coordinate your team (+ templates to get started)

Every team needs a home base—a central place to come together to collaborate, find information, and share resources. This is especially true if your team is distributed, because alignment is even more essential for remote team members. 

With Lucid, you can create a home base for your team thanks to team spaces. These are dedicated virtual spaces where you can host all the context and knowledge you need to initiate work. Lucid team spaces also enhance transparency into project progress and help centralize documentation. You’ll have everything you need, all in one place.

Why team spaces?

It’s difficult to do your best work when resources are scattered and people don’t know where to find something, or even who to ask. By using team spaces in Lucid, you make sure that team members can easily find what they need and streamline collaboration from start to finish.

How to get started with team spaces

To get started, all you have to do is link a team space board to your team hub. Create a team hub from your homepage in Lucid and add team members. Then, select a team space template (or create a space from scratch) and pin it so it appears at the top of your hub. Here’s an example:

Your team space will exist within your team hub, acting as the primary document where people can view updates, find information, and coordinate work. 

Lucid has a variety of team space templates you can choose from that make it easy to put together a home base for your team. The specifics will depend on your team’s goals and needs, but in general, a team space will include a spot for the team’s resources and documentation, timelines or calendars, tasks to be done, and a team roster.

We’ll show a few examples to help you get started on creating a space for your team. Remember, each of these templates can be customized for your team’s unique needs.
