When you create a new Jira space, you must choose between a team-managed project and a company-managed project. While both can track work, they serve very different organizational needs.
Team-managed projects are designed for speed and autonomy. They allow teams to create spaces quickly without Jira administrator involvement. Workflows, fields, and issue types are managed directly inside the project, giving teams full control. This makes team-managed projects ideal for personal workspaces, experimentation, training, and very small teams.
However, team-managed projects have serious limitations. They do not support shared workflows, permission schemes, issue security, advanced automation, cross-project boards, or portfolio-level planning. Each team-managed space becomes an isolated island of configuration, making enterprise reporting and governance difficult.
Company-managed projects are designed for professional and enterprise environments. They use centralized configuration schemes for workflows, issue types, screens, fields, and permissions. This allows organizations to standardize processes, enforce security, implement approval workflows, and report consistently across projects.
Company-managed projects also support advanced roadmaps, cross-project dependencies, issue security schemes, portfolio planning, compliance controls, and enterprise-grade automation.
Team-managed projects are best for learning and experimentation. Company-managed projects should be the default choice for production environments and serious organizations.
