Microsoft Teams Naming Conventions

    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

Thanks Kevin Watts Our new system is working well - with the exception of the cross functional teams but as suggested above we will use channels for that. Definitely going to borrow "team sprawl" love that.

 

It makes me wonder how many of you have users who have created "The Dream Team".......search through your teams you probably have at least one ;-)

We don't have a Dream Team, but we do have a Food Channel...
