# Squads
Squads are smaller groups of members within Teams. Squads could correspond to groups of people who are responsible for specific projects within a Team.
These are especially useful for adding groups of people to be on-call in a [Schedule](https://support.squadcast.com/schedules/schedules-legacy/create-and-manage-on-call-schedules-and-rotations). Squads are also handy when you need to notify the entire group together. For instance, when coordinated responses are required for high-urgency, high-complexity incidents, or as the last level of notification in an Escalation Policy when an incident is still unacknowledged at that point.
