Organizing 365 Groups

Hi All

I wondered... How do YOU organise your 365 groups ?

I terms of SharePoint sites, Planner & Teams - what kind of naming convention do you undertake to keep order in the 365 groups? In a scenario where we are able to create separate teams & planners.

    Hi Domin007,

     

    We don't organize our O365 Groups but we do block custom words from the naming policy. No prefix or suffix standards. Our users are self-service provisioning Groups via the O365 apps. 

     

    I hope this helps.

    Domin007 we use a naming convention like team-xxx-yy-zz what means the following:

    xxx stands for business unit, yy for the department and zz for the team name.

     

    example:

    team-gbs-app-microsoftproducts

    or

    team-gfi-zuer-groupfinance

     

    similar for SharePoint Site collections
