Microsoft Teams
I'm rather underwhelmed by the announcement.
In looking at it on the surface why not just add chatting to Groups? Having so many different places to conduct work isn't necessarily good.
The other, is since my tenant is down on the list to get new features, I figure I won't be seeing this feature for another year or more.
- I like what I'm seeing but I agree - there are too many different ways of doing the same sorts of things, not all of which are inter-related. I don't have that much trouble as checking out new stuff is what I do, but my poor users are extremely overwhelmed.
Is there an overview of the different ways for folks to collaborate in Office 365 from a use case POV? I mean, there's traditional SharePoint sites, newer Team Sites, New Sites, OneDrive for Business, Office 365 Groups, Teams and of course shared access collaboration withing many Office programs - Word, Excel, OneNote and so forth.
From a provider POV all of the options make sense, but for users and their poor afflicted IT teams it's getting impossible to keep up with.
So, repeating my question - is there some sort of use case centered overview of all these different approaches?Not sure I would ask that question as the answer will probably be use of them, as MS isn't going to intentionally shoot themselves in the foot. Which of course doesn't solve the problem of having too many options for communications.
- And don't forget to add yammer to the mix of tools ^-^
I know what you mean, I am undecided, I think I'll end up liking it, though. I won't know until I can try it out, which won't happen before it can be enabled selectively or spin up a test tenant maybe.
The Microsoft Teams Space is very active at the moment, also I have put these https://doc.co/nBisxS together incidentally.
