New Features
I agree on all of these frustrations for G-tenant releases.
While I completely understand the need to get to compliance before release, it is hard to have no sense at all of when we might get a product that is heavily promoted elsewhere.
For us we are in the process migrating/deploying into O365 and have no idea when some features will come to us - makes it hard to write requirements or sent timelines for roll out.
It would be ideal for there to be a release schedule for G tenants that is released at the same time as the other tenant types so we can get some sense of it. Currently we really have that "not YOU" feel when items are not released to us yet and then put in a black hole as to when.
It would also be SUPER helpful in Roadmap revisions to have tags/filters specifically for G releases, so we don't have to dig around to know if this relates to us or not.
To also align the notices in the Admin center similarly would help as well.
Really looking forward to some of these releases...so any help you can give is great.
MicrosoftGreat question! I highly recommend considering First Release, which can be applied on a per user basis. It's a great way to let IT Pros, Help Desk, or Power Users get earlier access to new stuff.
As it relates to the US Gov subscriptions, we implement blocks by application at the license level, and turning on First Release will not override this. So in the context of Planner, you won't have access to the non-compliant feature; however, First Release will give you things like the Message Center Digest, which is currently in FR and meets compliance requirements.
You can enable First Release on a per user basis in the Org Profile section of the Admin Center (under Settings).
