How to organize Teams, Chats and Groups for small development projects

Dear Dmitry,

I have a similar struggle although my company is in the interior design field.

I see that nobody has suggested anything, but I'm wondering if you had any luck at figuring out a solution?

I would also like to create a separate chat "hub" for each project which has also project specific files easily accessible and no extra clutter. Therefor initially I thought that I would create a Project team for each year. And then a channel for each project. As there could be many conversations within one channel and therefor all separate conversations could still happen within the channel. If a message is directed at a certain person, then @<person> could be used and if it is necessary that all channel or participants get notified then @<channel name> or @everyone can be used.

For me the dealbreaker is the fact that each channel gets a separate sharepoint. Therefor if I would like to do research from previous projects I would have to go and reasearch them one by one. It could be that not every team member is part of every project, but they all need the project data for previous project research.

It would be nice to get the discussion rolling. Then perhaps someone with experience would lead us to the right path.

Do you have any new ideas or perhaps could you share the solution you settled for?
