Establishing Teams Structure
Hi everybody. We need to establish a more rational way to set up file storage and directories in Teams. It is too random as it is. Thanks.
Good morning,
I'm going through something very similar. Teams was sort of flung out there shortly after everyone went home to work with little explanation or training. Creating new teams was not restricted and all sorts of teams got created by all sorts of people for all sorts of reasons.
Now comes the part where we try to clean it up...
What I'm going to endeavor to do in my environment is to loosely structure team names after the org chart basing it on the philosophy that there should be fewer teams and many channels.
So for example, we may have a team named HR, and under there a channel called Benefits, a channel called Payroll and a channel called Annual Reviews or whatever. Similarly we'll have an IT team with an Infrastructure channel, a Security channel, maybe a Physical Inventory channel. You get the ideal.
Of course there are going to be exceptions to that rule, you may have a team for Board of Directors or something that doesn't fit in the org chart, but if the org chart is your rough guide, that will make sense when it comes to SharePoint and on line storage as well.
Hope that helps.
