On MS Ignite 2018 Shifts and Home was announced as replacement for StuffHub. Any idea when will this be launched? I have tried in multiple tenants, all with enabled First release, but it is still not visible in store or Teams for that matter.

So... it's November and I can't find anything yet.

Hi Tomaz,
As confirmed by Microsoft on their StaffHub Retirement post -
Will Microsoft Teams offer all of the functionality currently offered in Microsoft StaffHub?
Yes, starting in November 2018, Microsoft Teams will offer a Shifts feature, which enables managers to create, update, and manage schedules, and lets employees post their availability, swap shifts, and request time off. In addition, the Home view in the Teams mobile app will display the employee’s schedule and important company announcements.
Whether Microsoft actually do it is open to guesswork as Shifts and Home are not actually on their roadmap at https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/roadmap from what I can tell, but like Adam says let's see as we are only halfway through the month
Best, Chris

Does anyone see the Shifts feature yet? I still don't see it in my Teams but got asked about it today from our call center manager.

Not yet .. It looks like it is not yet rolled-out, even though Microsoft mentioned they will start roll-out in November. Also there is no exact date on roll-out and nothing appeared in tenant message center.
Cheers,
H

Anyone know if this requires "enabling" by admins or will it be defaulted for all users? If it has to be enabled does it have to be company wide? Thanks!

It doesn't really work if you enable developer preview, yes the managers interface will appear in the desktop client, but you wont get the new functionality in the mobile application as a shift worker. Just wait for release in the new year.

Hi Donovan,
You need to ensure it’s enabled in the tenant, then the desktop app.
You can follow the guide here

Is that just for the current Development mode and when its fully released it won't require a tenant approval, or will also require that once public as well? Thanks

Do we know if you need a certain version of Teams to see it? Maybe it's not out for everyone yet? I found this page that shows it should be in the sidebar or under More Apps but I don't see it. Not even if I search the store.
Our Customer Support manager has been waiting for this so I'm hoping I can find it and he can start testing it out.

There is a line in that article that says:
"With Shifts now available in Teams for all customers, the new API makes integration between Shifts and enterprise scheduling systems possible, enabling seamless access to workforce management systems for managers and employees, right from Teams."
So that's why I went looking for it. I guess I'll just keep waiting. ;)
