Privacy policy. If you're a medium or large business, you need to think about how you're going to roll out the service to your users, how you're going to deploy the Microsoft Teams client to them, how your network design could impact the quality of real-time communication, and so on. Check out the following sections for pointers to articles that'll help you plan for Teams in your organization.
If you haven't done so already, we strongly suggest that you begin your Teams deployment with a pilot. A pilot will allow you and a few early adopters to get familiar with Teams and its features before your planning and eventual roll out.
For more information about how to start your pilot, check out Get started with Microsoft Teams. After you've read the sections below and are ready to start deploying Teams in your organization, see Set up Microsoft Teams in your enterprise.
Teams is tightly integrated into Microsoft and uses many features to power chat, file sharing, meetings, telephony, video streaming, and more. Before you roll out Teams, check out Microsoft Teams IT architecture and telephony solutions posters to get familiar with how Teams works with the rest of Microsoft to create a complete collaboration experience for your users.
Teams has three workloads that can be deployed independently of each other: chat, teams, and channels ; meetings and conferencing ; and Phone System and PSTN public switched telephone network connectivity. Each workload has its own section in our documentation to make it easier to find information about that workload.
Their duties might be similar, but their focus is different, Program Management Offices centering around the overall success of programs, not just individual projects.
Such a team is critical to ensuring the compliance of programs to business, local, national, and global standards. This is done by managing the entire lifecycle of a program. An effective PgMO can be a solid source of initiative for any company. Program Management Officers are the subject matter experts needed to put a program on the right path when failure happens. For this reason, PgMO practitioners should be flexible enough to adapt their work manner and existing knowledge to the internal needs of their clients.
The Project Support Office PSO is a temporary or permanent administrative support department of a company that offers a series of development and supervision services to project teams and managers on a daily basis.
Project Support Officers are essentially assistants and coordinators. This is why they usually work closely with the rest of your team and even from the same office. Proper and clear communication between the team and the PSO is vital for this department to bring the desired results. Hiring a PSO team can save costs spent on external services and experts that could help you with different tasks that are currently missing from your company.
This will help you achieve great results on time and with fewer costs than you would otherwise spend on outsourcing. However, those in charge have no formal project management training or experience. The Project Support Office brings official project management methodologies to your team and suggests the use of professional tools in this sense. Similarly, in the case of temporary PSO collaborations, they can train and prepare your project team for your following work when they will no longer be around.
Note: This project management tools list is a comparison of the top professional tools used by project teams and managers on a daily basis.
Project Support Officers — assist Project Managers and fill in the missing roles in a project management team, be they technical or non-technical. This must be done according to the needs of each company and its projects. Truth is that these departments do the same important thing.
They match changing business objectives to your projects and make sure you reach them. Choosing one over the other depends on your workload, project frequency, time restrictions, company structure, budget, and the number of unresolved problems. All this ensures that you can deliver more projects on time and on budget. But not all devices updating to Version or later have received Teams as part of the update process because the rollout has been a gradual process over several months.
So if you've updated a device to the latest version of Microsoft Apps, but Teams hasn't been installed, that is probably expected and not necessarily an error.
It's likely a future update will install Teams. If you're updating your existing installation of Microsoft Apps to Version Build To complete the installation of Teams after the update, either restart the device or have the user log off and log back on.
The date when Teams can start being added to existing installations of Microsoft Apps depends on which update channel you're using. If you don't want Teams to be added to existing installations of Microsoft Apps when you update to a newer version, you can use Group Policy or the Office Deployment Tool. Or, as an alternative, you can let Teams be added, but use Group Policy to prevent Teams from automatically starting when the user signs in to the device.
The following is a configuration. Also, in some situations, doing an Online Repair results in Teams being installed. For example, if Microsoft Apps is configured to get updates from the Office Content Delivery Network CDN and the update channel or version you're using includes Teams as part of the installation.
If your organization isn't ready to deploy Teams and you use Group Policy, you can enable the Don't install Microsoft Teams with new installations or updates of Office policy setting. If you enable this policy setting, Teams won't be installed in the following scenarios for Version or later:.
If you want Teams to be installed, but don't want Teams to start automatically for the user after it's installed, you can use Group Policy and enable the Prevent Microsoft Teams from starting automatically after installation policy setting. By enabling this policy setting before Teams is installed , Teams won't start automatically when the user logs in to the device.
Once a user signs in to Teams for the first time, Teams is configured to start automatically the next time the user logs into the device. The user can configure Teams to not start automatically by configuring user settings within Teams or by clearing the Open Teams on startup check box on the sign in screen for Teams.
If you've already installed Teams but you want to use this policy setting to prevent Teams from starting automatically, enable this policy setting and then run this script on a per-user basis to reset the autostart setting for Teams. But even if you enable this policy setting so that Teams doesn't start automatically, an icon for Microsoft Teams will appear on the user's desktop. If devices in your organization are shared by multiple users, be aware that Teams is installed separately for each user that signs into that device.
Installations of Teams average about mb, so hard disk space, as well network bandwidth for updates, might become an issue for these shared devices installed with Teams. Of course, this trust has been hard-won. PMOs are highly regarded because they deliver value and continuously improve processes. Our research clearly demonstrates that the PMO is fast becoming an organizational fixture that provides significant value.
Nevertheless, those PMOs who continue to struggle to get and keep funding or to carve out a place at the strategy formulation table do so because they have not developed a performance measurement system that can demonstrate their value, in terms meaningful to executives. For PMOs that hope to advance in the organization, such a measurement system is a requirement. Measurement provides management with the information necessary to make intelligent decisions.
It can tell you how well you are doing; if you are you meeting your goals; if your customers are satisfied; if your processes are effective; if improvements are necessary and, if so, in what parts of the organization.
For companies that depend on the execution of projects for business success, project portfolio tracking is all about measurement. When accurate data is available, strategic decision makers can decide where to invest more, or less, effort. The data used to value each project must be accurate and current.
There are numerous ways to determine the performance and success of your programs and measures necessary to one organization may not apply to another. That is why it's important to plan for measurement and to clearly understand the needs and goals of the organization in determining what to measure and why. The organization should seek to balance and streamline its measurement activities to insure the measures it chooses will result in strategic organization-level improvements.
The reason for measuring should always be about goals and objectives. When strategy is clear, this should be relatively easy. Common goals and objectives to measure include:. Once you start measuring performance, you can begin to start measuring value, and nothing can be more important for PMO leadership. For example, improving schedule performance for all your projects over a period of a year can be translated into improvement in average project cycle time, which can be translated into improvement in time to market, resulting in the number of new products your organization produces, which can add significant value to your organization through increased market share.
Value measures, therefore, provide information on the performance of the organization rather than the performance of a project. They must be collected over a longer period of time no more than quarterly and over your portfolio of projects. This example also demonstrates how good measures should align with organizational objectives.
When schedule performance has been linked to increased market share, the value of training project personnel in scheduling becomes calculable.
In this same way, it is possible to work backward from any strategic goal, drilling down to those measurable tasks that have an impact on goal achievement, and then developing training plans that directly affect those tasks. And, by how much? For example, time stamps on electronic documents or actuals reported through project plans and financial systems are captured through standard systems. This type of data collection reduces the amount of effort required to gather data and ensures a greater level of compliance.
It also allows for ongoing access to information, allowing for the periodic reporting of metrics from the systems without the need for mobilizing a search team to track down information. This model integrates a number of processes:. Measurement, like any organizational improvement initiative, cannot be done just once.
Having baseline PMO performance, you will have to iteratively measure in order to develop trends. Regular communication will maintain senior management and employee involvement—a must if strategies are to be executed effectively. Center for Business Practices. The value of project management.
