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
Have you seen this naming policy feature. It was only released recently that will allow you to reinforce some of the decisions you make on naming conventions: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/office365/admin/create-groups/groups-naming-policy
ta_pb Thanks for the information, I'll take a look. It's not really an enforcement issue, more a practical one. I will soon be a member of circa 50 Teams - how can I quickly tell from the name of each team who it is and what the main purpose of the team is.
Thanks again for the info.
Appreciated
