Create community of practice team

A community of practice is a group of people who share a concern or passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly. 

Note: This type of team can still be created in Jira Align and associated with existing communities of practice for a short time. We do not recommend associating this type of team with a community of practice, as we have removed the Communities of Practice summary page. For more details, see our removal announcement for the Collaboration module.
