yes more and more apps are built on Office 365 Groups.
The easiest is to present groups in Outlook as a natural evolution of DLs with history and context, no need to change tools/UI.
Another way is to introduce it based on use cases, here is an extract from the Microsoft Teams documentation: https://www.successwithteams.com/ (more content on FastTrack as well)
Microsoft Teams:
- Leveraged by users and teams who are looking to collaborate in real-time with the same group of people.
- Helps teams looking to iterate quickly on a project while sharing files and collaborating on shared deliverables.
- Allows Users looking to connect a wide range of tools into their workspace (such as Planner, Power BI, GitHub, etc.).
Outlook:
- Leveraged by users looking to communicate in more formal, structured manner.
- Provides specific business processes that require email usage to transmit documents and information inside and outside corporate boundaries.
- Communicates and connects with users who are outside of immediate workgroups or organizations.
- Has low-frequency interactions that do not require immediate action.
Yammer:
- Leveraged to help connect users across the organization share best practices or participate in a community of practice.
- Connects one to many and crowdsource ideas and topics, through its enterprise social network.
- Helps customers looking to foster two-way conversations between leadership and staff.
- Supports communities for company services.
Skype for Business:
- Allows organizations with real-time communication and collaboration both internally and externally with customers/partners.
- Provides meetings with audio, video and content with small or large teams (including Town Halls with up to 10,000 participants).
