Narrative:
Aircraft X checked in on frequency off of dtw as a jet level at 11000 feet. The radar controller climbed the aircraft to a higher altitude. The radar controller and I mistakenly thought we had control to climb on contact with respect to other departures. No separation was lost. I was later told that there are different sectors within dtw airspace which requires coordination prior to climbing. Due to lack of training for the newly implemented metroplex procedures; I was not aware of this. At the time of this airspace violation; sky/pan sectors went red on the monitor. The supervisor was unaware of this and did not offer to split the sectors. He did not become aware of this until another controller came back from break and by this time it was way too busy to split. This resulted in an unusually high workload which could have easily been prevented.
