Welcome to Houston Office 365 Community

We would like to welcome you to the future for the Houston Office 365 Community.  We started as the Houston SharePoint User Group, but have decided to move forward that involves everything available through Microsoft 365.  SharePoint is still a building block for our businesses and now we can include so much more like Teams, Forms, Planner, OneNote, OneDrive and the list goes on.  #HOU365

Location (Online Only !!!) on Microsoft Teams Microsoft Teams Meeting: Join Microsoft Teams Meeting Time: Wednesday, June 17, 2020 from 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm CST Speakers: Stacy L. Deere-Strole, MVP All organizations have some type of project process that they utilize whether they know it or not they do exist. Organizations that don’t have a built or purchased application to assist in managing their projects probably use email or a manual process. Ones that have a built application are frustrated and a lot of effort is being taken to maintain the application and is just not feasible in this ever changing technology world we live in. There are some great project applications out there such as Project but many I have worked with that use Project state their biggest complaints are that they barely use all the functionality that it provides and it’s an additional cost and hardware if not in the cloud. Which organization are you? What opinion do you have on your current solution? What if there was a solution that you already own? One that integrates easily in the new modern era of O365 & SharePoint as well as has integration into another application that you most likely own already. The combined effort of both of them not only can you manage your projects but manage YOU? Microsoft Planner and To-Do is what I am referring to and they are simply amazing as individual applications and even more powerful together. In this session I will go through a number of ways you can use the Planner Hub, Create\Integrate Plans into Groups & Teams, Use Cases for how to utilize Plans to organize the different facets of your organization, clients, partners, etc. Then we will go through how integrating with To-Do can give your users a 1 stop shop view of all their tasks, etc. Come join the fun and leave with the knowledge on how to get organized quickly.
