SharePoint Sites Best Practice - Project

Michael_Paul Hello,

I would recommend having a hub site as a Project hub (the home for all projects). 
In the hub site, include communication sites for different guidelines (getting started, quality checks, financial issues etc.) Then include Team sites (one team site for each project). 

In the team site, have a channel for each department:

• Project Management
• Project Controls
• Quality
• Environment
• Safety
• Procurement
• Accounts Payable
• Transportation
• Document Control

They might not be needed on every project but it would be good to have a template to use.
For each channel, you get a folder with the same title, to manage documents regarding that area.

If, for some specific reason, some projects include NDA documents then you could use private channels for that. I know that the private channel sites are not so user friendly. However, I rarely visit them and I do not think you should either. Just see it as a space for documents to be handled and keep using the MS Teams experience. 

At the end of a project, set the Team site with sensitivity label as "archived" and remove all the members, replace with a service account.

By connecting all projects (Team sites) to the Project Hub, all your users will have their unique experience when visiting the start page for the Project hub. Being able to work effective with multiple projects and find relevant content based on their work history and other metadata.

Yours sincerely,
Aref Halmstrand
