In Jira Service Management, there are two types of service projects: company-managed and team-managed.

While company-managed projects are currently the better known project type in Jira Service Management, team-managed projects unlock a new simplified project creation experience that is opened up to project admins.

This guide is designed to help admins understand if team-managed service projects are right for them, and how to get started and thrive with this project type in Jira Service Management.

Much as the name implies, team-managed projects are set up and maintained by your team (project admins), unlike company-managed projects which require site admins to configure.

Team-managed projects are especially great for business teams who want to get started quickly and create their own service project without impacting shared settings or shared configurations across the organization.
