We’ve been using Microsoft Teams for a little over a week.
My first impressions are that I LOVE the potential of Teams.
Microsoft are bringing out so many services on top of Office 365 each solving a common business problem (e.g. e-mail, video sharing, planning, task management, deskless workers, document mgmt, and so on). All enjoy SSO. All are very useful.
However, I think we’ve ended up with a desperate need for something like MS Teams. Something that allows easy collaboration (sharing, conferencing, chat), but also allows us to work with data from other products without leaving the App!
So my question is …
Do you think Microsoft Teams will become the main collaboration tool for businesses?
I personally do and I am as excited about it as the early days of SharePoint. Get ready for “MSTeams Saturdays” (too may ‘S’s)
We have been finding MS teams very useful, I also Love it!…as long as the collaboration stays within the Teams app itself, things are in the main fantastic.
However as soon as you start to break out of the app into the underpinning O365 apps that have created it (planner, SP, groups etc etc) you can very quickly get lost and confused.
So it will become the main collaboration tool for business in my view, but only once that ‘confusion’ is resolved, which I am sure it will be as the product develops.
I’ve been using Teams for six months and am absolutely in love! We run all of our projects on Teams and use connectors to access data from existing systems.
That being said, Teams isn’t the best tool for every collaboration situation. It fills a need and it’s okay to use other collaboration tools to fill other needs.
I agree. I think there is a big disconnect between the Groups from Team and Office365 Groups. Yes, they are the *same* thing… but, why are conversations in Teams, different than Conversations (email) in the Office365 Interface? Is there no way to get Team Conversations into the Outlook Interface? One day we’ll bridge the gap…
