The Teams UPDATES App feature has been available to subscribers since 2022, but I recently stumbled across it in Microsoft Teams and want to share it with you.
I believe the app's confusing name, UPDATES, keeps users from trying it. With the Microsoft Teams UPDATES app, you're not updating the Teams app. You're efficiently requesting and collecting the following updates from your team members via an easy-to-create form.
→ daily, weekly, or working hours updates
→ incident reports
→ shift handoffs
→ 1:1 prep
→ more UPDATES templates available
Really, in ten minutes, a busy business owner or manager, who may be intimidated by setting up and using the To-Do Task App or Planner, can create a simple form and receive responses from the team in Teams.
This feature is ideal for frontline, manufacturing, and medical industries, to name a few. Also, there are hidden functionality gems that benefit the staff. Staff members will be automatically reminded in Teams to complete and submit the update by the specified due date without the initiator sending an email. Everyone can manage their updates from a dashboard in Teams.
A simple and fast solution to staying on top of what's going on with your team.
