Key Topics – Defining an effective Microsoft 365 Roadmap

The important considerations when defining a roadmap and strategy are as follows:

• Governance – Key areas to define governance policies including defining SharePoint & Teams structures and limiting key settings that make governance difficult to enforce.
• Adoption – Defining an effective adoption strategy including communication, training, champions and resources.
• Security – Implementing an effective baseline of security for Microsoft 365 and rolling this out across your Microsoft 365 platform allowing additional services to easily be enabled.
• Migration – Best practices for migration of files from legacy platforms to Office 365 Services.

Generally, as part of any Microsoft 365 planning you need to consider the toolsets that are available, we often break these down into two categories
