Planning Your Organization’s Communications and Collaboration Strategy Using M365

Whether you are building your first corporate intranet in SharePoint Online (or rebuilding an old one), rolling out (or re-organizing) Teams, trying to implement Yammer communities, or anywhere in-between, it can be daunting to know what to do with so many tools available in Microsoft 365, and to know where to start. In this session, we will cover the questions that need to be asked, and decisions that need to be made, when implementing your overall communication and collaboration strategy. Questions we’ll ask include: “When do we use SharePoint, when do we use Teams, and when do we use Yammer?”, “How do we handle our organizational calendar as well as departmental calendars?”, “How do we facilitate cross-departmental communication?” and more. We’ll also talk about various strategies for making these decisions. At the end we will leave time for participants to share ideas with one another about how they have implemented their own solutions.
Exam Cram for PL-900: Microsoft Power Platform Fundamentals
This session will give you an overview of the Microsoft exam and certification process in general and and for the Power Platform in particular. We cover the main topics of the exam so you know which topics you need to study. We will also through a few sample questions in there so you have a feel for the type of questions you’ll encounter on the exam.
