One-sheet on Office 365
Hi, we're in the process of doing some beta work with Teams, and getting some traction with Planner, as well. However, in enabling these applications for our users, they're gaining additional feature...
I'm not looking for full functionality (that's counter to the idea of a one-sheeter). What I'm trying to do, for people who suddenly find themselves with an O365 Group because they're using Teams or Planner, for instance, is explain what a Group is, what elements are included (like files, calendar, distro, etc.), and the value prop of suddenly having this team collaborative space.
I'm just hoping to not have to recreate if someone else has already created something like this. I feel pretty confident the information I'm looking for would fit onto a "Ready Set Go" document.
I'm about to try and put together something similar and completely agree with the need. Here are my quick thoughts.
The key points:
1) What is an O365 Group and what do I get out of it? (similar to what Kevin just posted)
2) How do I get to Groups? (from OWA, from list of SharePoint sites, from Outlook, from mobile app, etc) -- this has always been a weak spot for Groups IMO and the argument that "Groups are not a destination", because they totally should be
3) Where did my old stuff go? (we are focusing on existing workgroups / organization groups that already have SP sites and Yammer groups, and will be "migrating" them into the Group and shutting down use of the old resources)
4) How do I request/create a new Group? (we have self-service group creation turned off, and special instructions for requesting a group)
5) Link to a "Groups" help site we put together in SharePoint for more information and help videos specifically about the services (how do I use the calendar, how do I use onenote, how do I.....)
Other options
6) How does Groups relate to Teams/Planner, if using those services? (we are going to use Groups as the key point, so trying to teach users you dont get Teams/Planner without a Group, they are byproducts of the Group itself, not standalone services).

I'll take a pass at this in new year, happy to share my results here, Brent. (And thanks Kevin for your contribution, as well!)
