Team members are part of your core group that work on projects on a regular basis – think of people within your department or even your entire organization if you’re small enough.   These are people that you want to be involved in all aspects of the projects you’re working on in Nova and would expect them to provide feedback and contribute to most if not all of your sessions.

A guest is someone that is specifically needed for a particular session but may not be involved in many of your other projects. Think of creating a marketing plan for a client – you could add your client as a guest to a session to get them involved in the process while not being able to see all of the projects you are working on and only specific parts of the session.

It could also be someone from another department where their expertise is highly valued – like someone from the engineering team providing feedback on a specific criterion being considered – they would participate in only the sessions where their expertise is required.

Guests are simple to manage and can be added with Guest credits for every session they’re added to. Additionally, any team members can be added to a session as a guest in order to take advantage of some of the coaching and team-building exercises available within Nova without using any of your credits.
