Teams and sharepoint for project collaboration
Hi, We are trying to figure out how to combine teams and sharepoint for better project collaboration and always found some incovenients to solve the whole puzzle. The bussiness case is very common: Departments work in projects with other departments or/and external people. People from the same department needs read access to their department projects documents even if they didn't participate (in order to share knowledge) and 1..N externals can potentially access to project data. With old way (sharing folders) all looked like more easy and now with a set of tools made to collaborate it seems too difficult to find a way We have tested several scenarios but none works. One team for project has some cons; lot of teams and in order to allow access to information to non project members IT has to go to every project site to share with departmental groups. IT support needed in order to create teams as we have restricted policy Team with private channel has the cons; only 30 channels permitted, you have to be very carefully adding members teams and then carefully adding members to channels Departmental Team with shared channels has been the best approach as you can share the channel with a kind of master departmental teams and brings a consolidate visibility on all department project, but it has a mega big cons, only MS Orgs are allowed as externals (???) and it makes it practically useless Now we are thinking in other approaches like having a sharepoint site for all departmental projects or a site for all projects and playing with the permissions leaving teams only for easy and fast collaboration. This approach has the cons we have to think carefully on folder/sites architecture, limits and permissions and a major Administration effort Is there any MS best practice or recommendation for these scenarios?SusanHanleyyour insights are very welcome Thanks
