Hello @mikkelsen ...
You can begin to create your assignment groups via your "People" tab. Once you have your groups created, then you can assign those groups to a given assignment in your course. First, start out by creating a group set: How do I add a group set in a course?. The group set name could be the same as your assignment name...such as "Project #1". (You can create multiple group sets...each with different groups of students.) Then, within the group set that you just created, you will then create the groups/teams you want to establish...such as "Blue Team", "Green Team", "Red Team", etc. ... or whatever names you'd like to create. How do I manually create groups in a group set?. If you had another project later on in your course, "Project #2", you could create a new group set for that project, and then create new groups/teams within that group set...maybe assigning people to different groups/teams this time around.
Once you have created the group set an the groups/teams for that group set, return to your assignment. Edit the assignment, and make sure to check the option that this is a group assignment. You should see an option to select the name of the group set that you created. This is detailed in the following Guide: How do I add or edit details in an assignment?.
There are additional Guides for you to look at...many of which I didn't link to in my response...but hopefully this will be enough to get you started.
