If they are familiar with a common structure, it is easier to file new things, and find old things. The first is partly the “neat and tidy” answer but it also has to do with reducing the learning for people who move between projects. There are a number of other reasons which I will outline. If the only reason you can think of is that it keeps things “neat and tidy” then I expect you have given it about as much thought as I had. Why do you need a Project Folder Structure It may sound trivial but the more I thought about it, the more factors started to emerge. It was then I thought it was a suitable topic for a white paper. I checked Google and that was not much help either. The project file structures sort of grew organically. Like most project managers I have developed a number of structures but never given it much thought. I was recently asked to provide advice on a folder structure for projects in a large organisation.
