How it's used
Originally referring to organized travel groups, this term has evolved to describe any ad hoc gathering of people for a shared activity. It carries a sense of casual coordination rather than formal institutional membership. It is frequently used in gaming contexts to describe players teaming up for a specific quest or match.
Examples
A few of us friends are forming a group to travel to Japan.
When are you guys forming a team to play video games?

Do not confuse this with 組織, which implies a more formal, permanent, or hierarchical structure. 組團 is strictly for temporary or project based cooperation.
