Teams Release Management

Hi AaronThorne

In short, there is no unified site or app with which to monitor changes for Microsoft Teams across all versions, all clients, or all servicing channels (TAP, Public Preview, GA). There is no authoritative source in the difference between clients and client versions (I.e. Desktop/IoS/IPadOS/Android/VDI). Most of us use a mix which includes, but which is not an authoritative list, the M365 Roadmap, Message Centre, Docs.com, Tech Community, the Microsoft Teams Blog and Teams Uservoice. In terms of Teams updates Microsoft provides this on docs.com

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-client-update#:~:text=Teams%20desktop%20client%20updates%20are%20released%20every%20two,release%20the%20update%20as%20soon%20as%20it%E2%80%99s%20available.

I don't know if any groups to discuss service release management exist. There are some great groups around that may be interested. I run Teams Nation along with Adam Deltinger, Vesa Nopanen and Chris Webb who would be interested if you wanted to run a session. Teams ACM Europe with Karoliina Kettukari and Alexander Eggers would probably be interested too. But since Teams is such a broad overarching application very few I know are specifically focussed on release cadence. So I would find Teams usergroups, two of which I have named, join them and get going on a session about the challenges of release management

Hope that helps and answers your question

Best, Chris
