Directory Intro

Directory: Bring Clarity to Your Team Structure

As your startup grows, it becomes harder to keep track of who does what, which team someone belongs to, and how responsibilities are distributed. Confusion slows down communication, creates bottlenecks, and makes onboarding more difficult. That is why Directory in Wave exists. It gives your team a clear, organized view of your people, their roles, and how they fit into the company.

What Is Directory?

The Directory is your company’s central place to see every team member and understand how your organization is structured. You can view profiles, learn about responsibilities, and see team groupings in a clean, easy-to-navigate layout.

Instead of asking around for context or digging through old documents, Directory keeps your team information accurate, accessible, and always up to date.

Why Directory Matters

Clarity creates confidence. When everyone knows who does what, communication becomes smoother and collaboration becomes easier.

Directory helps your team:

• Understand roles. Everyone sees titles, responsibilities, and areas of focus.
• Connect faster. Team members can quickly find who they need.
• Improve onboarding. New hires learn the team structure on day one.
• Strengthen alignment. Clear roles support accountability and ownership.
• Reduce confusion. No more guessing who handles what.

A clear Directory is the foundation of an organized, high-performing team.
