Skype to team’s roadmap
Skype for Business is an efficient tool of Microsoft. It allows you to connect with
your team at any time, from anywhere! Skype for business is not going anywhere
but Microsoft strongly encourages migration of all its cloud users to Microsoft
Teams. It’s called the smart move to “Intelligent Communications” and integration
with office 365.
4. WHAT IS MICROSOFT TEAMS?
It is a digital hub that brings conversations, content, and
apps together in one place all from a single experience in
Office 365. The application allows you to create and
manage teams in virtual space as if it all were happening in
your own office. It brings context to the work experience of
organizations by assimilating all components of work force
i.e. people, conversations, and shared content into a single
space.

5. WHO NEEDS AN UPGRADE?
Microsoft provides a comprehensive framework to help
you plan and execute the upgrade. The framework
comes in two different flavors: Upgrade Basic for less
complex environments and smaller deployments, and
Upgrade Pro for larger companies with heavy usage of
Microsoft Skype for Business features.
Organizations that are making full use of Microsoft’s
cloud applications are in the best position to migrate.
Many of them are likely using Teams already. Teams is
a distinct product from Skype, not a rebranding, so
users will need to learn new ways of using familiar
capabilities. The curve won’t be a difficult one for
people experienced in Microsoft Office 365,
though. Skype to team’s roadmap is not as difficult as it
seems

PROJECT STAKEHOLDER
First, start with getting all project stakeholders in one
room. Yes, I know this isn’t the easiest thing to do,
especially in larger organizations. You can start by
inviting representatives per stakeholder and take it
from there. But it is crucial to align all potential parties
on the upcoming change.

PROJECT DEFINITION
The rule of thumb here is: Start SMALL and build up
from the base iteratively. The primary goal needs to be
a ‘simple’ upgrade. Get employees acquainted with the
application and its numerous possibilities. Once 80% of
your employees have adopted Teams successfully
you can start adding new functionalities and build
custom workflows for outdated processes.

TECHNICAL READINESS AND
USER READINESS
The goal for this phase is to make sure your entire
organization is ready for the upgrade. For example,
what steps need to be taken to update the current
(legacy) Cloud Video Interop hardware in conference
rooms? Which new skills and/or knowledge is needed
to make use of Teams more effectively.

OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
The change won’t be difficult for users, if they get
sufficient notice of it. Administrators will need to learn
how to manage a more powerful piece of software
from the Admin Center. Teams lets them configure
policies at the global, group, or individual level.
