Microsoft Teams is like conversations in an open floor plan office

MVP

I like to think about real-world experiences that help us understand how to work using digital tools in a modern workplace. One of my best analogies is that communicating in Microsoft Teams is like communicating with team members in an open floor plan office. Sitting in pods is like focusing our work in channels. Our Team might sit in a collection of seating pods. Or if you're organisation uses Activity Based Working, you shift to different pods to focus on work.

 

This video is a segment from a session I delivered during Collab365's #GlobalCon1. The session was titled "The exhaustive guide to conversations in Microsoft Teams... for now." I received many requests to make this segment available publicly for the community to use in their own Microsoft Teams adoption and training programmes. Do share your feedback in the comments below, to help me refine the analogy.
