Best practices for organizations and teams using GitHub Enterprise Cloud
Best practices for organizing and structuring organizations and teams in GitHub Enterprise Cloud:
-
Define GitHub organizations as the highest level of abstraction in your enterprise. Organizations are the owners of shared repositories, discussions, and projects, and they allow for more granular policies and control over repositories and user behavior.
-
Group users within organizations into teams based on common projects or specialized skills. Teams can provide role-based access to repositories and facilitate collaboration and communication.
-
Aim to have as few organizations as possible to minimize siloing and overhead. Consider the requirements for creating new organizations and work with existing ones to reduce complexity and ensure a sense of belonging for developers.
-
Utilize teams for fine-grained access control and permission inheritance. You can create nested teams to provide additional structure and flexibility in managing user access.
-
Enable team creation by administrators or allow members of organizations to create their own teams, depending on your preference for centralized or decentralized team management.
-
Regularly evaluate and reevaluate your organization and team structure to align with your company's culture and maximize the value of GitHub. Consider the needs of your developers and adjust the structure as necessary.
By following these best practices, you can design an effective organization and team structure in GitHub Enterprise Cloud that enhances collaboration, control, and overall user experience.
