Product description
Review
"This book is THE authoritive resource for managers looking to achieve their business outcomes using Microsoft Teams" - Eoin Connors
"This book is such a massive step towards helping business people think differently about working (enabled by Microsoft Teams. A world away from the 'which tool when' guide that is often the default when rolling out Microsoft Teams -- Joanna Teirney
"A thought provoking approach to using technolgoy to deliver results! Well planned, goal orientated, rounded, visible, inclusive and valuable outcomes will result from your adoption of these strategies. If you manage or participate in a team that's using or thinking of using Microsoft Teams, this is a must read!" -- Matthew Gilbertson
"Think of this as a common-sense guide to best business practice for Microsoft Teams" -- Reid Skinner
"This book is an excellent introduction for how Microsoft Teams could be implemented (properly) at any organisation. It lays the foundational thinking of what needs to be considered and provides great real-life examples that can be leveraged to build business cases within your own organisation"

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The 10 principles are clear and are helping me to set up the Teams I will use in a thoughtful manner.
The case studies helped me to see how I could use those principles.
I want to buy this book for all the managers in our organization - and have suggested to the project team they do just that!
If you have experience with teams it is not good for you.

First impression always matter as you know: this book is very well structured with compelling chapter names. That`s one of the main reasons I have purchased it (but I also really enjoy reading books from people and friends I know like these Microsoft MVP buddies).
1st part of the book starts with „Getting to know Microsoft Teams“ and delivers insights why this solution might help you in communication, collaboration and coordination. So it is use case focused and not structured by technical features or architecture.
2nd part is sharing deep insights into Adopt & Embrace`s leading methodology they are using while offering their consulting services: 10Ps – the heart of the book. Find my comments beneath the name of each chapter.
Problem: start your journey with a problem and don't mix too many problems into one team.
Purpose: use shared purposeful team names instead of cloning your org structure in Microsoft Teams.
People: they need common ground and vested interest to work in this project. Again: don`t copy org chart members into Teams membership. Helpful recommendations shared around private channels, permissions and security.
Priorities: interesting approach to structure priorities into channel names using prefixes and don`t overwhelm a team with too many priorities. Rather considering splitting into multiple teams
Principles: decisions are made how to communicate and collaborate – also how to solve concerns. How to use the general channel.
Plugins: use tabs as bookmarks. Think about all other Ps when adding Plugins
Permissions: think about permissions of external guests. Make sure to have more than one moderator, they should know their responsibilities.
Performance: identify gaps and discuss performance outcomes
Provisioning: how do provisioning processes look like in your org? Discuss design of Teams structure first before automating
Perishability: Capture lessons learned and celebrate the end – don`t forget archiving
3rd and last part is all about patterns from the real world with focus on experts community of practice, onboarding, conference planning , sales and board meetings, customer service and 1:1s

1. Revisión general de TEAMS (siempre se aprenden cosas nuevas)
2. Método estructurado para identificar cuándo debe crearse un equipo. VItal para evitar un crecimiento descontrolado de TEAMS
3. Casos de uso. Algunos me han resultado cercanos e inspiradores.
Muy recomendable para managers, gestores de cambio o consultores de Microsoft 365 y Teams.
