Teams Real Simple with Pictures: Setting up Supervision Policies for the Team

Supervision policies in Microsoft 365 are defined as capturing employee communications for examination by designated reviewers (docs.com). In layman's this means policies can be set up for someone to review team members communications who may be disclosing sensitive information or violating HR policy in the use of profanity, racial slurs, taunts or sexually explicit language in Teams channels and private messages.

Teams Real Simple with Pictures: How to share Code Snippets with the Team

A developer or another member of the Team may want to periodically share snippets for review purposes, to pass on the snippets for use or to articulate as examples of solutions  previously used. However in Teams, these can't be simply cut and pasted into the conversation bar as they do not render correctly. Typing them out is possible but in most cases such as needing to share multiple snippets or a large snippet this is completely impractical and time consuming.

Teams Real Simple with Pictures: Integrating the Microsoft 365 Roadmap with Teams via Flow

In my personal experience, it is not just IT Pro's who want to keep up to date with roadmaps and have an understanding of whats coming to the platforms they manage. Enthusiasts and evangelists are often eager to see new features that they may be able to leverage or rave about to their partners and customers. Support always wants to know what's coming down the pipe in order to prepare for what they see are inevitable issues. Finance loves anything which can lead to greater ROI and save money - and CEO's often like to know they got it right.

Teams: Leveraging Extensibility and Growing your Teams Practice

If you were in Vegas for MS Inspire back in July then I'll wager you probably heard the expression Teams, Teams, Teams! at some point during the conference. Microsoft used it a hell of a lot. Partners did too. And Vendors. Even my colleague Graeme - who I shared a room with over at the Tropicana - proudly proclaimed it Day 1 having returned from the Hub and having - in his words - caned Fifteen K purely on the freshly brewed organic coffee they were serving outside the breakouts. Now, I had absolutely no doubt in my mind that after he'd left for the evening he went on to recreate the pose he did in the room - something I can only record for posterity as bordering on lunging - at some partner event at the Venetian, or the Wynn. I personally wouldn't be surprised if he partook in a bit of photo bombing too.

Teams Real Simple with Pictures – Using Power BI Dashboards for insights and data driven decisions within the Team

An increasing amount of our working lives are spent in Team meetings. The biggest issue of mine - at least with the meetings I attend on a regular basis - is that they still often lack insights from data, lack open team discussions based upon and challenging these insights and data driven decision making. All too frequently meetings tend to descend into wild conjecture or arguments based on emotion without anything to back that up. Even worse, not all members of the team always have access to such data to be able to counter arguments based upon data hoarded by other individuals.
