    We have two suggestions.

    PREFIX (the IT department first choice, due to 'search-ability'):
    ORG-management-name

    PRJ-management-name

     

    There is also a suggestion to have shorter prefixes, ORG=O, PRJ=P


    SUFFIX (the users first choice):

    Name (ORG-management)

    Name (PRJ-management)

     

    If you have suffix it's more simple for the user to see what team they are in and you can @mention the team with better names, for ex @prj-management vs. @thenameyouhavechosen

Sara Hällgren both excellent suggestions. Thank you. I'm settling on the following at the moment.

 

ORG = Organisation wide responsible

GEO = Our standard geo location code

 

Function = Function or Department

Name = Team Name

+G = Team has Guests

 

ie

ORG-Mktg-Digital+G = Our Organisation wide Digital Marketing Team with guests.

Max characters 20
