workgroup
Small project team
A workgroup is a small team of people who collaborate on shared tasks or projects, typically within a larger organization.
In computing, workgroup specifically refers to a collection of networked computers that share resources like files and printers without requiring a central server.
Our workgroup meets every Tuesday to review progress.
The term emphasizes peer-level cooperation rather than hierarchical structure.
