Finding People By Team
At Kyndof, teams are organized around distinct missions and capabilities. Each team has its own leadership, goals, and collection of roles that work together toward shared objectives.

- Know who to collaborate with: Teams have overlapping responsibilities that require coordination
- Understand priorities: Each team has specific goals that drive their daily work
