Getting Started for Managers

Managers are the individuals who are responsible for creating the team's status sheet, customizing it for the team's needs, and adding members to the sheet. A manager can be a first level manager who is responsible for a group of individual contributors, a mid-level manager, all the way up to a the CEO who manages a group of executives.

Here's an example of three different teams:

In this example, the CEO is the manager for the E-Staff team and would create a status sheet called E-staff and add his four direct reports to that team. In the same way, the VP of Engineering would create a sheet called Engineering Managers and add the three engineering managers to that sheet.
