Putting the Team into Microsoft Teams
 

Putting the "Team" into Microsoft Teams

I want to share an email I sent to the company. The way we communicate is incredibly important and change can be hard. I'm very proud of the way the guys continually embrace change. This is a change that you might want to make in your organisation too.

Hey @SSWAll,

A few of us have been trialling Microsoft Teams for many weeks and I believe it is now ready for everyone at SSW to join the fun.

To start with please do *all* Daily Scrums with Microsoft Teams instead of using Skype. That will be a good start. If you are happy then continue to expand your use of Microsoft Teams.

Making collaboration as simple as possible has always been a fundamental need SSW and Microsoft have released Teams to help make this easier. As with Skype, users can communicate directly to other staff members via the "Chat" tab or, now you can use the "Teams" tab to have a similar conversation with the group you're working with.

It might one day even replace emails like this – but I'm not ready to ditch email just yet! 😊

I know many of you love Skype. Change comes with some pain but I believe the benefits of Teams and its integration will outweigh the pain over the long time. Let me explain...

Keep reading to find out why Microsoft Teams is so awesome.

July User Group - Sydney

 

Sydney .NET user group: Get ready for modern DevOps - Danijel Malik

Modern DevOps is a highway to greater business value and it works cross-platform. Automated deployments solved a handover problem, Application Monitoring Platforms closed the feedback and crash reporting gap, and containers made the "works on my machine" stereotype real. Next mission: automated environments.

In this session, Danijel will start by identifying the common bad practices to give you some quick wins. His experience starts from the smallest businesses and extends to the largest businesses including some of the largest banks. You will learn why Zero Based Infrastructure is the next step of a DevOps evolution, why Cloud is your best friend, and how to integrate this approach back into your deployment pipeline. You will walk away with a solid understanding of what Infrastructure as Code is and the main advantages, leaving you with nothing to worry about but your code.
