You cannot add a member to group that does not yet exist, so you need to add the user after the group has been created for example :

 if form.is_valid():
        team = form.save(commit=False)
        team.created_by = request.user
        team.members.add(request.user)
        team.save()

is now :

 if form.is_valid():
        team = form.save(commit=False)
        team.created_by = request.user
        team.save()
        team.members.add(request.user) # you can only add member after the group has been created

Same in the second snippet :

team = Team.objects.create(title=title, created_by=request.user)
        team.save()
        team.members.add(request.user)
