IT Assistance Teams/Help Desk for Office 365 Groups
I am a bit challegned with the Office 365 groups and my SharePoint based brain and model for working with team sites in this bold new world where they are the same, sometimes. In SharePoint we ha...
Eric, i've had many of the same concerns, issues. Here is how we are handling our implementation and roll out (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Office-365-Groups/Our-Groups-Rollout-part-2/m-p/51922)
For the most part, we are finding great adoption of Groups. Our users are grasping Groups alot easier than if we just gave them a SharePoint site and said go nuts. That being said, we have turned off self-service creation, and are partnering with the business to implement Groups for key workgroups/teams (and migrate/shut off existing SharePoint sites at the same time)
We havent really had to yet, but for group-level support, we will probably just grant SCA rights to the sharepoint site. If we need to support the other group tools, we'll just put ourselves as members of the group temporarily.
(Also Information Architecture is dead) :(

- Have you then tied the rollout of Planner and Teams with this model?
I do like the high level concept of O365 Groups. Which as I see it is: Define who you work with and you get all of the tools.
Challenge is, of course, cross-team work.
I don't think IA's quite dead. It's limping in Office 365 Groups, but we still have SharePoint for the intranet/publishing side of life!! Go IA! Go Card Sorting!!! :)
