Office 365 Groups Explained - New blog series
- Jan 19, 2017Hey Steven!
Skype is not integrated to Office 365 Groups, Microsoft Teams is and does provide Chat/Meeting functionality. The tech used is Skype, but not to the point to put it in there.
I put SharePoint under Site & File, meaning everything you mentioned above. The description also mentions that it gives you everything SharePoint Site Collection gives you. News aka Pages in a library, Lists, Document Libraries not for pages, etc... PowerApps, Flows and all kind of things that can be attached to SharePoint.
Kept it simple in the interest of being able to quick consuming it.
Just curious though, did something in the way I put SharePoint confuse you?
Will continue to work on it as things change, thanks for commenting!
Excited about this series. Would potentially like to see a 6th option in the series around differences/limitations from the standalone versions of the tools. Though maybe that falls into your 5th bullet.
I put together a long list of my "real life findings" so far trying to consolidate from existing individual workloads into Office 365 groups. Example, (replacing a SharePoint calendar with a groups calendar is weird because notifications get sent for everything). Planner apparently has some pretty weak limitations in quantity of tasks (i think it is 250, but havent been able to confirm/deny), and that is a killer for many of our workgroups we are planning to transition. Plus I wouldnt really call it full-fledged sharepoint, it is "dummified" a bit which is good and bad, alot of things we are trying to move in from existing sites don't quite line up, or you have to use special hidden links to accomplish basic site management tasks.

Towards the end, I'll spend some time and gather all boundaries and limits for Groups and its individual products.
Thanks :)
