Simplify the launch of your new team with these eight templates for Confluence that will save you time and enhance collaboration.
Launching a new team is an exciting milestone, but it can also be quite overwhelming. From aligning everyone's goals to ensuring smooth onboarding, there's a lot to organise and little time to waste. That's where having the right tools at your fingertips makes all the difference.
Whether you're building a team from scratch or welcoming new colleagues, these eight
templates for Confluence will help you start getting to know each other, align your goals, and collaborate quicker and easier, making your team launch as smooth-sailing as possible.
1. Welcome everyone with a team homepage
The team homepage is the digital front door to your online office – a branded, welcoming space that introduces your team's purpose, members, and key resources. It sets the tone from day one, ensuring everyone knows where to find essential information and who to turn to for help.
2. Align your goals with an OKRs page
An objectives and key results (OKRs) page is the best way to ensure you're all on the same page. By setting quarterly goals and measurable outcomes, you give your team a shared sense of direction and clarity on what success looks like from day one.
3. Help newcomers get started with an onboarding page
An onboarding page gives new team members everything they need to jump right in. Sharing important info, helpful contacts, and useful resources makes their first days easier, helping them feel welcome and confident so they can get settled and start contributing quicker.
4. Get to know each other with user profiles
User profiles humanise your workspace, allowing each team member to introduce themselves and share their skills, interests, and working styles. This helps form relationships across the team, encourages collaboration, and helps new joiners put faces to names, making remote or hybrid teams feel more connected.
5. Share knowledge and guide your team with how-to articles
Share standard operating procedures and create reusable “how we do things” guides to reduce repetitive questions, minimise errors, and empower team members to find answers independently, keeping your team informed and self-sufficient.
6. Preemptively share answers with an FAQ page
An FAQ page anticipates common questions from new joiners, other teams, and anyone with a knowledge gap, saving time in two ways: providing instant answers to the askers and reducing interruptions for the answerers. It also demonstrates your team's openness and willingness to share knowledge.
7. Keep everyone up-to-date with monthly project reports
Monthly project reports offer a consistent format for sharing progress, outcomes, and blockers. This transparency keeps everyone informed, surfaces challenges early, and provides a record of achievements.
8. Make your team visible on the company hub
Adding your team's information to a central company hub allows other teams to quickly find out who you are, what you do, and how to connect. It breaks down silos, encourages cross-functional work, and ensures your team's contributions are recognised.
Don't have a company hub yet? There are a couple of different ways you can build one. One option is to create a standard page on Confluence and use one of our company hub templates to get started straight away.
The other option is using Confluence's in-built company hub feature, which is only available with Confluence Cloud Premium or Enterprise. While templates can't be used in this feature, Mosaic's individual macros can be. If you choose this route, be sure to read our guide for
creating a company hub on Confluence.
Each of these templates does the heavy lifting for you, so you can focus on what matters most: building a high-performing, engaged, and aligned team from day one. With these ready-to-use Confluence pages, your new team is set up for success.
