1 00:00:00,006 --> 00:00:01,008 - [Instructor] Knowing some of the differences 2 00:00:01,008 --> 00:00:05,000 between Office 365 Groups, Microsoft Teams, 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,004 SharePoint Online, and Yammer 4 00:00:07,004 --> 00:00:09,007 is the beginning of what we need to know 5 00:00:09,007 --> 00:00:13,003 about how we might collaborate in a particular organization. 6 00:00:13,003 --> 00:00:16,001 In addition, how and where we collaborate 7 00:00:16,001 --> 00:00:18,003 relies on designing an infrastructure 8 00:00:18,003 --> 00:00:23,004 that unambiguously answers two specific questions. 9 00:00:23,004 --> 00:00:27,006 First, if I look at a particular piece of communication, 10 00:00:27,006 --> 00:00:31,002 a piece of work, a project, an interest, 11 00:00:31,002 --> 00:00:35,006 what kind of collaborative group does that effort need? 12 00:00:35,006 --> 00:00:39,000 And secondarily, the questions every user asks 13 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,003 as soon as we start to change our infrastructure, 14 00:00:41,003 --> 00:00:42,008 "Where's my stuff? 15 00:00:42,008 --> 00:00:46,002 Where do I put my files, and where do I find files?" 16 00:00:46,002 --> 00:00:48,002 If you're involved in decision-making 17 00:00:48,002 --> 00:00:51,008 around your organization's collaboration infrastructure, 18 00:00:51,008 --> 00:00:54,000 there's a design process that you use 19 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,007 to help answer these questions. 20 00:00:55,007 --> 00:00:59,003 Here's a high level overview of the process. 21 00:00:59,003 --> 00:01:03,005 First, you identify your current collaborative teams, 22 00:01:03,005 --> 00:01:05,008 both formal and informal. 23 00:01:05,008 --> 00:01:08,008 Who's using SharePoint, who's using Teams, 24 00:01:08,008 --> 00:01:12,001 who's using Yammer, who's using Office 365 Groups. 25 00:01:12,001 --> 00:01:16,000 And then, which of these actually have active use, 26 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,003 which are the most active SharePoint team sites, 27 00:01:18,003 --> 00:01:20,006 the most vital Yammer communities. 28 00:01:20,006 --> 00:01:24,003 Focus on your users who are already collaborating, 29 00:01:24,003 --> 00:01:26,000 because you can learn things from them 30 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,007 that are specific to your organization. 31 00:01:28,007 --> 00:01:31,004 Document their use cases and their requirements 32 00:01:31,004 --> 00:01:32,007 so that you can match them up 33 00:01:32,007 --> 00:01:34,003 with the tools that are available, 34 00:01:34,003 --> 00:01:36,000 and you'll have a design. 35 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000 Now, many organizations have already done their own version 36 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:40,008 of this process. 37 00:01:40,008 --> 00:01:42,005 And out of their work, 38 00:01:42,005 --> 00:01:45,006 we see trends emerging for organizations 39 00:01:45,006 --> 00:01:48,007 that are licensed for the enterprise version of Office 365 40 00:01:48,007 --> 00:01:50,007 and so are using all of the pieces 41 00:01:50,007 --> 00:01:52,005 of this collaboration stack. 42 00:01:52,005 --> 00:01:54,000 This is what an infrastructure 43 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,004 using the Office 365 tools looks like. 44 00:01:58,004 --> 00:02:00,000 We begin with Teams. 45 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,008 Teams are the hub of our work-life. 46 00:02:02,008 --> 00:02:05,002 This is where we collaborate on work 47 00:02:05,002 --> 00:02:07,006 and deliver on outcomes. 48 00:02:07,006 --> 00:02:11,002 When I go to Teams, I find my work groups. 49 00:02:11,002 --> 00:02:14,006 In some companies, those Teams might be organized 50 00:02:14,006 --> 00:02:17,000 around departments or around geographies, 51 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,004 but more frequently Teams is organized around small groups 52 00:02:20,004 --> 00:02:22,007 and the projects that they're working on. 53 00:02:22,007 --> 00:02:25,005 My participation in a team is usually mandatory. 54 00:02:25,005 --> 00:02:28,009 I'm assigned to a team based on my skills or my role, 55 00:02:28,009 --> 00:02:30,006 and when the work of a team is done, 56 00:02:30,006 --> 00:02:33,007 usually that team is done as well. 57 00:02:33,007 --> 00:02:35,004 Next, we have SharePoint. 58 00:02:35,004 --> 00:02:37,002 If you work directly in SharePoint, 59 00:02:37,002 --> 00:02:39,009 you are probably in a group whose goal 60 00:02:39,009 --> 00:02:43,009 is to communicate company-wide or with very large groups. 61 00:02:43,009 --> 00:02:47,006 An example would be if we had an initiative in a sales group 62 00:02:47,006 --> 00:02:50,003 to help every employee impact sales. 63 00:02:50,003 --> 00:02:53,002 We might then set up a SharePoint communication site 64 00:02:53,002 --> 00:02:55,004 to communicate that information. 65 00:02:55,004 --> 00:02:56,007 The other type of work group 66 00:02:56,007 --> 00:02:58,009 that will require SharePoint is a group 67 00:02:58,009 --> 00:03:00,003 that works on document production 68 00:03:00,003 --> 00:03:02,000 with specialized requirements. 69 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,007 An example might be the office of corporate counsel 70 00:03:04,007 --> 00:03:06,000 that needs to have a particular way 71 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000 to store and manage legal documents, 72 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,004 or the group in an organization 73 00:03:09,004 --> 00:03:12,005 that's in charge of the policy manual. 74 00:03:12,005 --> 00:03:15,009 Office 365 Groups are for short-lived or informal teams, 75 00:03:15,009 --> 00:03:18,001 for ad hoc collaboration. 76 00:03:18,001 --> 00:03:21,000 An Office 365 group might be our answer 77 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,003 to how are we going to support the group 78 00:03:23,003 --> 00:03:25,007 that plans a company event?
