00:00:00,006 --> 00:00:02,000
- [Instructor] In most organizations,

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,001
new teams come to collaboration in the same way.

3
00:00:06,001 --> 00:00:09,006
They begin with the realization that they need some way

4
00:00:09,006 --> 00:00:11,006
to be able to work together more easily.

5
00:00:11,006 --> 00:00:14,005
So one possibility is they have an email group,

6
00:00:14,005 --> 00:00:17,001
for example, a contact list in Microsoft Outlook

7
00:00:17,001 --> 00:00:19,001
or a shared email mailbox

8
00:00:19,001 --> 00:00:20,008
that can be monitored by the group.

9
00:00:20,008 --> 00:00:22,008
If they need to work together on documents,

10
00:00:22,008 --> 00:00:24,009
a file share is normally set up,

11
00:00:24,009 --> 00:00:28,002
perhaps something in Windows, a network share,

12
00:00:28,002 --> 00:00:31,007
or maybe hosted in one of the team member's OneDrives.

13
00:00:31,007 --> 00:00:35,005
And if there's access to chat or a similar system,

14
00:00:35,005 --> 00:00:37,007
this is often the time that the group will agree

15
00:00:37,007 --> 00:00:41,006
to have some of their communications in chat, but over time,

16
00:00:41,006 --> 00:00:45,006
most work-based groups will outgrow these informal tools.

17
00:00:45,006 --> 00:00:47,007
They'll get tired of the load on their inboxes

18
00:00:47,007 --> 00:00:49,007
and the email archeology.

19
00:00:49,007 --> 00:00:51,008
They'll hit the limits of file sharing

20
00:00:51,008 --> 00:00:53,006
as they approach a deadline,

21
00:00:53,006 --> 00:00:56,007
and multiple users want to edit a document,

22
00:00:56,007 --> 00:00:59,002
but only one can do so at a time,

23
00:00:59,002 --> 00:01:01,004
and they'll wish that they had the ability

24
00:01:01,004 --> 00:01:05,002
to better document the decisions that they had made in chat.

25
00:01:05,002 --> 00:01:07,008
At some point, one of the members of the team will say,

26
00:01:07,008 --> 00:01:09,004
"There has to be a better way,"

27
00:01:09,004 --> 00:01:11,005
and they begin to look at the other tools

28
00:01:11,005 --> 00:01:14,002
that might be available to their organization,

29
00:01:14,002 --> 00:01:16,006
or perhaps look again at the tools

30
00:01:16,006 --> 00:01:18,006
that they are already using.

31
00:01:18,006 --> 00:01:20,006
And they say, "You know, the work that we're doing

32
00:01:20,006 --> 00:01:24,001
really belongs in an Office 365 group,

33
00:01:24,001 --> 00:01:27,004
in a Microsoft Team or a Microsoft Team channel,

34
00:01:27,004 --> 00:01:30,004
or in Yammer, or perhaps in a SharePoint team site.

35
00:01:30,004 --> 00:01:33,003
But which of these options is the best way

36
00:01:33,003 --> 00:01:34,005
for us to collaborate?"

37
00:01:34,005 --> 00:01:37,000
And the answer, of course, is, it depends.

38
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,001
In the next few movies,

39
00:01:38,001 --> 00:01:41,004
we'll take a look at the features in Office 365 groups,

40
00:01:41,004 --> 00:01:44,000
Microsoft Teams, Yammer, and SharePoint,

41
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,001
and then we'll return to the question of,

42
00:01:46,001 --> 00:01:48,003
where should we best collaborate?
