These days collaborative work has become more and more common. Companies can greatly benefit from cross department alignment, sharing results of different projects, and strong ties between employees. As a result of this cross-team collaboration, companies deliver more integrated service, improve the overall efficiency of their teams, and easily share useful knowledge and information. Microsoft Teams \u2013 is one of the tools to manage collaborative processes. It\u2019s being more and more used and especially due to Covid-19, many organizations have been deploying fast without any Governance.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, more than 270 million people use\u00a0Microsoft Teams\u00a0during their daily activities.\u00a0With relevant\u00a0teams,\u00a0channels,\u00a0and integration of additional apps, you\u00a0can\u00a0build\u00a0a\u00a0strong\u00a0organizational\u00a0structure.\u00a0Microsoft Teams\u00a0adoption\u00a0allows\u00a0you\u00a0to\u00a0engage\u00a0your staff\u00a0with\u00a0projects from different departments,\u00a0to\u00a0increase\u00a0your business\u2019s\u00a0productivity and to\u00a0mitigate the desire\u00a0of\u00a0your employees\u00a0to\u00a0stick\u00a0to ungoverned tools.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who are involved in Microsoft Teams Projects, there’s always the topic of Governance that real pain. On the one hand IT would like a high control, on the other – a high adoption… I don’t know an IT Team who is not struggling with that topic. This is what the article is all about, and you’ll see, there’s a solution to this big issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenges of Microsoft Teams Governance  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using powered software according to your business needs is a great way to manage your company\u2019s internal activities. But how about the Governance policies and ways to control the usage and collaboration silos? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In each organization, you try to find the right balance between your end-user adoption and IT control. However, it’s hard to accommodate both needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

On the one hand, you can empower your IT control to manage new teams’ creation and achieve operations transparency. For example, you can restrict teams creation for your end-users and control each collaboration silos. But in this scenario, your employees won\u2019t be able to enjoy all the features Microsoft Teams has to offer to its users. And instead of a structured workspace, you will get lower productivity and miscommunication between your team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, you can give complete freedom to your end-users in terms of teams creation and provide them with full access to Microsoft Teams tools. Your staff will now be able to use Microsoft Teams according to their needs and collaborate efficiently on different projects. However, in this case, you risk creating thousands of uncontrolled teams that could be misused or duplicated.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, are you still trying to find the right balance between your business and IT needs? How can you provide the Microsoft Teams Governance for Microsoft Teams? Let\u2019s first dig into why we do think like that in the industry.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The issues with Business Context and Microsoft Teams Governance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finding the right Balance for your Microsoft Teams Governance is almost impossible. You certainly know that. It\u2019s all in control, or all in open.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s interesting in the reflection, is to wonder why we have this way of thinking. Opposing these 2 things, always. Isn\u2019t there another way to govern things? To design your Governance? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m deeply convinced about that. We do have this way of thinking due to the lack of 2 things.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
