Microsoft Teams Naming Conventions
I have a slight dilemma and I can't seem to find useful resources online so I was hoping to pick your collective brains? The problem I have is around naming conventions. The directives we establishe...
We have two suggestions.
PREFIX (the IT department first choice, due to 'search-ability'):
ORG-management-namePRJ-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
JohnKelly I know this is an old post. But it still an important question :-).
Our company is located in multiple countries so for our naming convention we use:
COMPANY-COUNTRY-DEPARTMENT
COMPANY-COUNTRY-...
For Global teams we use the term CC (Cross Country).
COMPANY-CC-DEPARTMENT
COMPANY-CC-...
- It is very important, and I would like to take it a step further. I submitted a change to Microsoft to prevent users from changing the Teams name.
We have a strict naming standard, but some have figured out how to actually change the name of a Team, so our standards are not holding up well.
