The Problem
![Page 5: Microsoft Teams versus Slack: the Differences That Matterpages.catapultsystems.com/rs/998-YNO-494/images/Teams Vs...Teams or Slack or both. •You are trying to quell a rebellion caused](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051805/5ff96d68e05ac213431c4bb6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

The Actual Problem
• The best, most productive experience is when a team of people are present in the same room, at the same time, for the shared purpose of achieving specific goals.
![Page 6: Microsoft Teams versus Slack: the Differences That Matterpages.catapultsystems.com/rs/998-YNO-494/images/Teams Vs...Teams or Slack or both. •You are trying to quell a rebellion caused](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051805/5ff96d68e05ac213431c4bb6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

The Actual Problem
• Once people leave that room, collaboration
becomes more difficult
• Harder to know who’s who
• Harder to know who’s working on what
• Harder to highlight key resources
• “Happy accidents” leading to fresh ideas
become fewer and less frequent
• We turn to digital tools on our PCs, tablets and
phones to try to recapture the magic

How We Will Proceed
• We will discuss how Microsoft Teams and Slack help, but also differ in the attempt to recreate a high-focus/low-distraction space for our project teams. Specifically, we have three goals for these tools:
• Easily connect our teammates
• Keep focus on our project
• Reduce low-value meetings
• We will not be doing a feature-by-feature comparison our counting widgets to see who has more.
• We will attempt to review the tools on their own merits, but there will be broader platform considerations that will occasionally creep in.

Key Assumptions
• You are here because you are either:
• Trying to make an organizational-wide decision regarding whether to use Microsoft Teams or Slack or both.
• You are trying to quell a rebellion caused by your decision to use Microsoft Teams or Slack or both.
• Both are solid tools with ardent supporters
• We’re not trying to trash anybody, let’s find the tool that best suits the way you work

Some Key Differences
• Channels are key to either Slack or Microsoft Teams Experience
• Slack channels are free-standing. Departments with multiple teams need to be diligent with naming conventions, i.e. #marketing #marketing-promos #marketing-us
• Microsoft Teams are grouped by “Team”
• Personal note: I prefer the term Workspace during training and adoption exercises.
• Voice and Video are critical to creating personal connections and ensuring engagement. Microsoft Teams has an edge on number of participants and QoS

Staying Focused On Work – Microsoft Teams
App integrations are inline
and in the context of the
team.
Recognize the each team
(and sub-team) may need
different tools, content.
