Microsoft Teams is a little confusi stanley cup ng and a little too flexible for real-world use at this point. It s also too ambitious.Credit: IDG I did a deep dive into the features in Microsoft Teams, which is essentially a collaborative chat application for Office users a.k.a., a Slack competitor .I wanted to find out what itrsquo like to use Teams with an actual team for actual work. Fortunately, Irsquo;ve started doing some work with a local c stanley becher ollege mdash; Irsquo;m mostly there to help with mentoring and development. Itrsquo a team of around 12 people, and Irsquo;ll have more findings to share in the coming weeks, but therersquo one initial concern.Irsquo;m starting to wonder if people will get how to use Teams. I set up the basic team channel and have added a few folks. Irsquo;ve shared a few files, and poked around with many of the features. A colleague has helped share files as well, and wersquo;ve chatted several times about some of the projects wersquo;re working on together.Teams has one major benefit, of course. Everyone that is already provisioned to use Office 365 at the college is one click away from accessing Teams. With Slack and other apps like Convo, you have to add the user, which is not a Herculean step by any means. It takes about a minute.
