A number of **Tech Teams** are used to group responsibilities:

* *Hardware Team*: home of all hardware design-related work (sensor nodes, docking stations, sensor mounts ...) and the embedded software that runs on them.
* *Software Team*: home of all software-related work that operates at higher levels than embedded software. This includes the cloud infrastructure, user apps, and UI/UX.
* *Signal Processing Team*: home of all application-related work. This includes development of signal processing algorithms, literature studies of applications and specific signal implementations, (validation) testing and product demos, and medical background/consensus information.

In addition, the *Company Tools* section is available, which is used for company-specific tutorials. E.g. how to contribute to the documentation, or how to use task and code management tools.

Each Tech Team further contains the following **Document Categories**:

* *Tutorials*: for brief instructions and *howtos* on isolated topics, e.g. instructions on using a specific tool that is important to the team. This category can also be used for topics that will eventually be integrated into the Reference Documentation but are still too early stage.
* *Reference Documentation*: for established procedures that make up the core development efforts of the team, e.g. complete instructions on how to use, bug-fix, or update a Byteflies device or system.
* *Manuals*: for external use documentation, e.g. instructions for users of Byteflies devices or alpha and beta testers.
