New Groups creation experience has arrived to my tenant

[jcgonzalezmartin]

All,

Today I have discovered in one of my tenants that I have a new experience for creating Groups there...It might happen that It has been there for some days, but I have discovered it Today. Currently it's possible to create 4 Group Types: Standard group; Project Group; Organizational Group; Interest Group.

[#2]

Hi, we have it in one of our tenants to - not sure still if it's only a classification of the group or if it's actually provision them with different features?

Have you compared them and found any differences?

[#3]

Yeap and not seeing any difference between choosing one option or another...Group features seems to be the same

[#4]

Same here, all group types seem to create the same content.

[#5]

Is this change something related to this Ignite session?

It's definitely related to this rollout Santhosh, it's the odd navigation issues we're encountering with the rollout.

[#7]

So for now, we could say that this new feature is more oriented to use cases for Groups, isn't it?

[#8]

Yes, it looks like templates for groups creation. Each Group type will have different set of combinations. Ex: Interest groups will have connectors and Organizational group will be S4B (Meet Now button).

[#9]

Not seeing those things for the moment ^-^

[#10]

May be soon  I have seen Meet Now button in groups some days before in Groups. 

[#11]

This is an experiment we are currently running to learn about group personas. The personas are not tied to templates nor specific settings at this stage.

[#12]

What are the implications of the experiment? Is this a feature to stay or to be removed once the experiment ends?

[#13]

Will thre be some sort of notification when the templates are finalized so that we can understand the implementation differences?

[#14]

Just seen on my tenant. Interesting!

[#15]

none at this stage.

[#16]

I noticed this within the group properties after creating a group with the new personas. 

[#17]

I've tested the PLC group option (I work at a school) and there are 2 differences:

• The privacy by default in a regular group is public and in PLC is private
• The OneNote created for the group has a lot of content in the PLC group.

That is about it 🙂

I am no longer seeing this experience in my tenant.
