In that blog post it says: "To avoid fragmenting team conversations, Office 365 Groups will provide either conversations in Yammer or conversations in Outlook. Office 365 Groups created in Yammer will have conversations in Yammer. Office 365 Groups created elsewhere in the suite will have conversations in Outlook."

As I'm still waiting for the integration to hit my First Release enabled tenant I want to create a Group for a team to share files and OneNote, but also want conversations in Yammer. So what is the best practice in the interim? Do I:
- Create a separate O365 Group and Yammer group with the same name?
- Create an O365 Group and don't create a Yammer group so they will integrate later? (although by the paragraph above it seems to indicate that conversations will be in Outlook - does that mean they will *stay* in Outlook?)

Thanks
