Office 365 Groups Properties and Behaviors
Well the Current Microsoft Office 365 Groups documentation now directs you in the direction the type of Group(s) you should create considering one of the 3 types of requirement and only three app they recommend to create Office 365 groups from are Outlook, Teams and Yammer,

Which all other Office 365 Apps this group will be visible and Why ?
What all features will this group will support and why ?
What all factors as in the settings at the tenant level or for that matter at any other level affect the functioning of a group and how ?
When is Microsoft going to publish this documentation ?
