Microsoft Teams Governance and Life Cycle Management

Abstract

You have already learned that Microsoft Teams is built on Office 365 Groups, which is part of Office 365 that includes multiple tools to design governance capabilities that organizations require. This chapter provides you with a comprehensive overview of Microsoft Teams governance and life cycle management. Managing governance and life cycle management for Teams is essential for consistent and coordinated interaction between users and allows them to collaborate with confidence. Prior to deploying Teams, you as a Teams admin must consider things, like who can create teams, how to handle unused Teams, who can create private channels, what the Teams naming convention is, and so on. Also, you will learn the features that you can use for Teams governance, such as group creation, classification, expiration policy, sensitivity labels, data loss prevention policies, and naming policy.
