Allow users to create O365 groups or require admins to create groups?
The "happy medium" you described was the road I think we're heading down. That is how we've managed our on-prem SharePoint site creation for years, and it was very helpful to keep it under control. I understand some of the general usability benefits of allowing users to create groups, but what I am trying to get a clear picture of are the drawbacks with having a lot of groups and duplicate groups. Is this primarily an issue for the system admins, or does it even matter for them? Maybe it is just confusing for the end users if they have multiple groups for their teams and don't know which one to use. Any insight into that scenario would be helpful. I plan on checking out your deck, Loryan. Thanks for the reply!

cfiessinger, I just listened to the "Embrace Office 365 Groups" session. That was great information! Thank you very much for pointing me to it.
