What does it look like?

14. What do you want to do with it?
Replace Skype
Persistent chat and Meetings
Create a collaborative extranet
Re-organize file structure
Before you migrate to Teams you need to figure out what you want to use it for.

15. Leave files where they are
File Storage
Leave files where they are
Teams can be rolled out w/o ever moving a single file!!!!
Teams can make it look like you moved everything without ever moving a thing. Leave all files in place and just point to them from within Teams.

16. Pitfalls
Saving files to Teams, does not display the shortcuts added to the files tab.
Saving files to Teams from Outlook saves them in the root and NOT the channel folder

17. Myths You can’t change a guest’s display name
