Tiimitasoisia

Tiimitasoisia is a Finnish term used in organizational management to describe practices, policies, and assessments that apply at the level of teams rather than to individuals or the organization as a whole. The word is formed from tiimi, meaning team, and tasoinen, meaning level- or quality-related, and tiimitasoisia is the plural form used when referring to multiple team-level measures or considerations.

Team-level practices focus on shared goals, collaborative processes, and collective accountability. They are common in agile and cross-functional work environments, where teams are the primary unit of work. Examples include team-level objectives and key results, joint planning and retrospectives, shared performance metrics such as team velocity or cycle time, and resource allocation decisions made at the team level.

Benefits of tiimitasoisia approaches include clearer alignment, faster decision-making, better feedback loops, and improved psychological safety within the team. They complement individual-level measures and organization-level measures by focusing on how the team functions together, rather than on single contributors or the organization as a whole.

Limitations and considerations include the risk of masking individual contributions and potential neglect of cross-team dependencies. Successful implementation typically requires visibility of interdependencies, supportive leadership, and metrics that reflect both productivity and team health. The term is widely used in Finnish management discourse and is not tied to a single formal standard, but rather serves as a descriptive label for team-centered practices.
