Free guide: How to roll out Microsoft Teams

Chris Radcliffe

Learn how to build a user-centred strategy to drive successful Teams adoption.

Teams is a powerful tool for communication and collaboration that allows organizations to trade in a patchwork of different services for seamless and secure integration across Microsoft Office and Groups.

Successful adoption of Teams depends on a solid roll-out plan that puts users at the centre.

This guide will take you step-by-step through the key aspects of a Microsoft Teams rollout. You’ll be ready to create a plan that includes the right people and tools to configure, launch and support Teams in your organization.

You’ll learn:

  • The key elements of a solid rollout plan
  • Technical pre-launch tactics
  • How to leverage free materials to onboard early adopters
  • Questions to ask your users to gain valuable feedback that will help you iterate and build momentum
  • Tips to scale in a sustainable way

Bonus:

A detailed checklist covers everything you need to consider for planning, resourcing, configuration, implementation, governance, training and onboarding.
