Team-managed Jira projects are designed for speed and independence. They allow small teams to create and configure projects without relying on Jira administrators or centralized standards. This makes them useful in very specific situations.
Team-managed projects are best used when a team is small, self-contained, and fully independent. The work tracked in the project will not be shared with other teams, used in portfolio planning, or included in enterprise reporting. The project lives in isolation and does not need to integrate with broader organizational workflows.
They also make sense when your team already has strong Jira expertise. You are comfortable creating and maintaining your own workflows, issue types, and fields. You are not trying to reuse company-wide schemes or enforce standardized processes.
However, team-managed projects come with important limitations. They do not support many advanced Jira features such as shared configuration schemes, issue security, workflow approvals, advanced permission models, cross-project boards, portfolio-level roadmaps, and dependency tracking.
This becomes especially important on Jira Premium. Many of Premium’s most valuable capabilities are designed for company-managed projects. If your organization is paying for Premium and primarily using team-managed projects, you are often leaving critical planning, governance, and reporting features unused.
Although the name “team-managed” sounds more agile, company-managed projects are usually the better choice for serious business environments. They provide standardization, scalability, and full access to enterprise features.
Use team-managed projects for isolated, lightweight work.
Use company-managed projects for real production environments.
