VSO and multiple projects for a single product team

Question

We have a team of around 10 developers working on a new product.

We have split this product into two team projects on Visual Studio Online. Developers can work on both

Answer 1

You should have both teams in the same team project. You c Dan create multiple teams that all exist within the same team project and get their own backlogs.

Most of my customers have moved to a single team project and I have a simple rule:

"If you have assets that are related (with assets defined as code, people, or work items) then you should be in a single team project."

I just got done in London merging about 15 team projects into one so that the entire org can work together. This was 6 teams across about 12 products, all moved to one team project.

The only effective way to collaborate is within a single bucket of work.
