Sep 03, 2018Agree with starting out on Teams now, I decided to start rolling out Teams for my SharePoint Online migration and tackle them together. This way you can design Teams and Comm sites around it. I would have Department sites for the whole departments, and larger departments would have sub department Teams. But each Department would also have a Org facing Comm site where they could put org searchable / needed content on it, and also news, which would roll up from that Org Department site to the main Intranet Home hub site. Works pretty well.
Then all that is left is down the road an Org Team, and then functional cross department Teams.

Was it too much change for users and how did you manage it? The plan is to have an org facing site for each department where they can share content across the company and a private site for each department to collaborate with each other. From the comments I assume it would be better to roll out teams from the outset, this in effect will replace the private sites?
