Session 1: Teams, Office 365 Groups, and Modern Sites Provisioning Governance with SPFx, Flow, and Azure Automation

While Microsoft’s modern experience has really come together, there are so many ways to creates sites, groups, and Teams. Learn how to standardize approach and result with an open sourced form (SPFx), approvals (Flow), and provisioning process (PowerShell, PnP, Azure Automation). Next learn how you can combine the concept of channels across Teams, SharePoint, OneNote, Planner, and Streams to better organize how your staff collaborate. Through automation of tabs in Teams, sections in OneNote, plans in Planner, and channels in Streams, plus navigation in SharePoint to tie it all together, you'll see significant gains in your teams' productivity.

Session 2: Office 365 Extranets - Unstructured and Structured

OneDrive and SharePoint external sharing is all about publishing or collaborating with people outside of your organization. Users will find ways to do it with or without IT support (typically through email or shadow IT), so it’s important for IT to provide an easy way for them to do it effectively and securely. Sharing can be done in different ways. Unstructured sharing to a small set of external users works well with the OOTB SharePoint. As the scale increases, structured sharing with a large number of external users needs alternatives such as Azure AD B2B, custom code or other solutions. We'll discuss options available and what makes sense where using real world examples. See a session trailer at blog.petercarson.ca/speaking.
