This document discusses governance and lifecycle essentials for Microsoft Teams. It begins with acknowledging traditional owners of the lands where the online conference is being hosted. It then provides a code of conduct for the conference. The main content discusses key elements of governance for Teams, including who can create and own Teams, how long they should exist, how they should be named, and what happens to content when a Team is deleted. It provides examples of governance challenges like private channels and sharing links. It stresses that governance is ongoing and requires reviewing services, documenting decisions, and helping with adoption.

[MAIN POINT TO LAND]
Teams is a chat-based workspace that brings together chat, meetings, calling, and Office 365, all-in-one. And it’s built on the trust of Microsoft security & compliance that’s crucial for today’s businesses.
Microsoft Teams delivers on four core promises to create a digital workspace for high performing teams.
[COMMUNICATE]
First, Microsoft Teams solves for the communication needs of a diverse workforce.
Since preview, Microsoft Teams has evolved to a complete meetings and calling solution, incl. chat, voice and video, as we have completed our roadmap for bringing Skype for Business Online features and functionality into Teams. You can use Teams for informal 1:1 or group chats – directly on your phone if you’re on the go. Or you can have an open conversation in a channel. This enables people to share information in a transparent way to accelerate decision making. And it's super easy to move from a chat into a face to face meeting, helping you to bridge geographical barriers.
[COLLABORATE]
When it comes to collaboration, the deep Office integration enables today’s multigenerational workforce to use the Office apps they are familiar with and love - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, SharePoint, Planner, even Power BI - right within the context of Teams.
You can avoid email attachments and having to search for the latest version of a document. Teams brings all the Office 365 services together – so that you can easily share and co-author files.
[CUSTOMIZE]
Many of you use other services than Office 365 as well which results in you having to jump between and spend time in disparate experiences. We built Teams to be the hub for all the services and tools your teams use on a day to day basis. So, you can customize Teams with tabs, connector and bots to include the apps and services you need - <mention relevant 3rd party apps like GitHub and Trello>. We have also created an extensible platform, to enable building apps and to integrate with business processes.
And for Firstline workers, Teams provides an additional set of capabilities including schedule management.
[WORK WITH CONFIDENCE]
Microsoft Teams comes with the enterprise grade security, compliance and manageability that you expect from Office 365 which customers tell us is a huge value add for them.
LS
Marrying of the pillars – deciding on tools, reviewing, understanding
LS
Not go-live - not going into the event, focus on planning and prep
A lot of considerations for how everything is configured, and the impact it makes
What external sharing levels do you have for SharePoint, OneDrive, calendars, Sway, Forms?
Do you anonymise data in Power BI for M365 Usage Analytics
Do you control guest access to Office 365 Groups and Microsoft Teams?
Do you enforce conditional access so that devices are managed and secured before accessing your content?
Do you have spam email go to the junk email folder, or get held up in quarantine?
The impact of small configuration settings can make a big difference to the user impact, and how successful your adoption will be.
What is the feature or problem
What was done
Governance and then adoption
Regular meetings; business, IT, AND change team
Review Message Centre weekly and take action
Create a collaboration tools guide so people know what the products are and restrictions
Decision register – document your reasons why
Review the audit logs
External access
Sharing
Features that are enabled/disabled
What IT does vs. what owners or members do
