Organizing Projects

---

A project is a named set of objects used to group related object definitions. Projects can be checked in, checked out, locked for modification, and compiled.

Follow these guidelines when working with projects:

Projects should contain related object definitions. Because projects are typically organized by functional area or object type, keeping related object definitions together helps make sure dependent code is checked in and out at the same time.
When working in a multiuser environment, try to organize tasks around projects.
Create new projects for any major new areas of configuration, such as business objects or business components.
Try to minimize the size of new projects. This decreases both the time to compile and the check-in and checkout processes. Minimizing the size of a project also results in fewer conflicts between developers working on different objects within the same project.
