I am pretty excited about this new feature in Microsoft Planner called App-Powered Tasks. They are the next step on the path for Business Scenarios. They provide the ability to provide a custom user interface to manage the task process. In this blog series I am going to show you why, what and how.

Thanks @buckleyplanet.bsky.social for organising. That was a lot of fun. Some thought-provoking and great points were made. #CollabTalk

A7: Net promoter scores for the environment before and after the migration. Using metrics from helpdesk to understand if people who don’t fill in surveys are able to use the new platform. #CollabTalk

A6: Ensuring good communication to explain why, when and what is going to happen. Ensure that training provided, training resources available in different formats to support different types of learning. Ensure there's a Communication plan to build excitement & is thought through. #CollabTalk

A5: Senior management team, Marketing and Internal comms to support communication. Human Resources because they have so much content that is used by other parts of the business. Departments with Core Business Process ownership #CollabTalk

A4: Moving files from Files shares / SharePoint on-prem to Online often seem much quicker and easier to deliver with third-party tools. They can help you get yourself out of trouble too. #CollabTalk

A fun and thought provoking evening session talking #Copilot at @m365north.bsky.social. Big thanks to fellow presenters @simonjhudson.bsky.social, @simondoy.bsky.social and our audience.

A3: One common challenge is taking SharePoint sites that have been customised and provide functionality that cannot be migrated to Online. e.g. features don’t exist, going out of support. e.g. InfoPath forms. Planning & understanding of what is being migrate key to avoid these issues. #CollabTalk

A2: Time needs to be made available from the teams that are going to be involved in the first way of migration. It might be that we do not need everyone involved at the beginning but we need to have senior management buy-in so that the project has visibility and support from the senior team.

A1: Having a look at the content that is going to be migrated, looking at how it currently is structured and how it will be structured. Using this time to plan, where will things go? Cleaning up content that is old so that we don’t move the rubbish into the new environment. #CollabTalk

Hi HP and Microsoft it is almost 2025. Why do I still have to restart the Printer Spooler Service to get the printer back online and print? Apple got this sorted years ago.

Love it @darrell.modernworkmentor.com Another feature that Strengthens the use of Microsoft Teams for running Projects and project meetings.

It's always great to have new people in our rather wonderful #MVP #Community. Congratulations and thank you to all the new folk. A special hi to @RebeckaIsaksson
