title: TFS Areas, Optimal Definition and Configuration
body: <p>Having recently migrated to TFS 2010 I was wondering what the best or most widely accepted definition or configuration is for an Area?</p>
  
  <p>The only useful article I can find online is <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mattlind/archive/2007/01/08/what-is-the-definition-of-an-area-in-tfs.aspx" rel="noreferrer">this one</a> and is what I would have assumed to be correct. However it got me thinking if any of the following is indeed more widely accepted.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Areas by business functionality</li>
  <li>Areas by technology</li>
  <li>Areas by system layer</li>
  <li>Areas by physical or geographical location</li>
  </ul>
