New infographic: Periodic Table of Office 365
I consider myself a SharePoint geek, but I play more and more in the larger Office 365 (O365) sphere these days. In doing so, I’ve noticed that O365 as a concept is difficult to explain… both to IT folks and the everyday workers who are expected to use it. So I put together a new infographic that (hopefully) provides a quick intro to O365, its apps, and how they're all related. Good for both the IT crowd and lines of business. Check out my https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/everyday-intro-office-365-matt-wade below. Update (Dec 2017): The original infographic has been upgraded to being a fully dynamic, web-based tool complete with articles on many of the apps, more translations (7 languages as of today!), and more. It's embeddable too, which is what you see below. Embed it in your intranet or website today!

On a user level, Office 365 Groups are one of the biggest selling points for moving to Office 365. They provide quick, easy access to an online workspace for communicating with colleagues and collaborating on documents and files. There’s little-to-no learning curve: get in and start working. But they’re also one of the most confusing new things in Office 365. Below is my take on how Groups (and Yammer and Teams!) works from an everyday user's perspective. Use it for training, for explaining, and as a go-to resource when Groups confuses you. Below is just a small part of http://icsh.pt/O365groups. Read that in full and share with your colleagues!My favorite Office 365 roadmap resources

Hello IT Enthusiasts! I'm on the Office IT Pro readiness team at MS and am always looking for impactful resources that make it easy for our customers and partners to get up to speed on Microsoft technologies. If you have attended past events (MS Ignite, Tech Summits, Build, etc) you are probably familiar with the many labs that we provide in our dedicated lab rooms, covering a wide range of topics (Azure, Office & Windows). We also have an inventory of Click-Through demos (aka. Online Interactive Guides), that cover a range of Office solutions. For those of you interested, please run through a few of these and let me know what you think. Do you like the "click-through" format? Do you like to learn this way? Do you prefer labs or Online Interactive Guides to see first-hand how MS technologies work? What products/services would you like to see? (The guides listed are Office focused but feel free to name any product) There are certainly pros and cons to both labs and Online Interactive Guides (labs mirror the "real" experience but take longer to complete and can be prone to more errors, while OIGs almost always work as expected and take less time to complete but don't allow for exploration within the enviroment and tend to get outdated quickly). Please let me know your thoughts on the below Online Interactive Guides. If the community finds these valuable, we will make them a priority and ramp up our current inventory with new experiences (Microsoft Teams, MyAnalytics, updated Office Pro Plus apps etc).

There are lots of great resources for Office 365 change management but finding them all in one place is more difficult. Inspired by Brian Levenson post - 'My favorite Office 365 roadmap resources' I have written a TechNet Wiki article called the https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/37821.office-365-change-management-survival-guide.aspx. Its aim is to bring together as many resources related to Office 365 changes and updates as possible. Many of them will be well known but there are some hidden gems as well! Did you favourite resource make it on the list, are there any glaring omissions? I'd love for this to be a go-to resource for Office 365 change management. Hopefully, this is of interest, the article is only a day old, so there will be further improvements going forward. By the way, for those interested and that like this format, there is also the https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/37465.microsoft-teams-survival-guide.aspx and the https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/36755.enterprise-mobility-security-survival-guide.aspx. All of these are on the TechNet Wiki and are open to the community.Modern Service Management for Office 365
