# Groups

To bring together employees from different departments to work on a shared project, create a group. Group members may include not only employees but also [external contacts](*external-contacts), such as employees of partner companies with whom you're conducting a joint project.

## Add a group {#project-add}

You can build a hierarchical structure of groups with any level of nesting.
