In this chapter, while we have not covered any specific exam content, we have looked at some of the basic principles behind what Teams does and how you can manage it. It is essential that you have a good grasp on the fundamentals of how Teams operates and where it can add value to an organization so that you can understand the context for the chapters to come.
We started by looking at why Teams is a product that is seeing such rapid growth across many organizations today and how you can split its functionality into two broad categories of collaboration and communications.
Next we covered how Teams relies on some of the other O365 services and uses them to store its own information, as well as how it is licensed as part of the different O365/M365 offerings.
Then we covered some of the management fundamentals. You should have a good idea of how and where you can configure different elements of Teams, which is the knowledge you will need to follow along with the rest of the book as we delve deeper into all of the configuration options that you will need to be aware of.
Understand how and why an organization would benefit from using Teams. Understand what benefits a product like Teams can bring to a company by improving both its collaboration and communication capabilities. These benefits can apply equally for internal and external users.
Understand how Teams fits into the O365/M365 offerings. You should understand how Teams is positioned at the heart of Microsoft's O365 and M365 offerings and that it works by drawing a lot of other components together under one umbrella. For example, understand Team's use of SharePoint to support file sharing inside channels.
Understand the principles of Microsoft licensing plans. While no one could accuse Microsoft's licensing plans of being simple, you should have an understanding of the differences between the Personal, Business, and Enterprise plan options available. At the least, be familiar with the differences between the E1, E3, and E5 licensing types.
Know about the Teams management interfaces. Know about the Teams admin center, how to access it, and broadly what sort of configuration options are available—do not worry about specifics at this point as we will cover them as needed in the subsequent chapters. You should also be familiar with the basic workings of PowerShell and how it works by manipulating objects.
Understand the basic principles of Teams policies. Most Teams functionality is controlled through policies; be aware that you can apply policies at multiple levels (user, group-based, or org-wide) and what happens when a user has more than one applicable policy configured.
