    I've got a Team called 'Office 365 Training' that's public to the organization. In the General channel I created a tab using Planner and called it 'Office365 New Features'.

    I've attached a pic of what I've got.

     

    Buckets - Announced, Ready for Testing, It's Here!, and On the Horizon.

     

    The horizon bucket are things I've picked up from blog posts and other places - no formal announcement but I know it's something that's going to change.

     

    My labels are Teams, Adminstrator, Office365, Planner, OneDrive, SharePoint Online since those are the usual things I want to filter on.

     

    For an announced task, I put the due date of when the feature is supposed to be GA if I can guess it or the announcement says. 

    Those are the items I check every now and then to see if they're available.

    If they are, I give it a start date of 'today', and drag it over to the Ready for Testing bucket - maybe assign it to someone. I might add a checklist on steps to test.

    When I think it's ready for training, I'll move it to 'Its Here', and maybe add an image of what it looks like.
