# Departments

Departments, in the hierarchy of resource allocation, are above Projects. A Department can contain multiple Projects, and has its own quotas. 
A Department's quota supersedes the total of the Project quotas in the Department, so tt is recommended 
that a Department's quota be the total, or more than of all the Project quotas in the Department. 
For further information see, [Working with Departments](/run-ai/self-hosted/documentation/platform-management/manage-ai-initiatives/organization/departments).
