Thank you for helping me to maximise teams! Had no idea it had this functionality and I’ve used it for my team and will unveil the changes this week! Wish me luck!!!

THANK YOU! I was so confused by some other LONG Teams videos produced by some sources that I shall not name. They were TOO detailed for the initial dive into Teams. Yours was great, however. Great for a newbie to Teams like me.

Great intro to teams for project management. A note on tasks for private channels: use Lists. However I would love to see a video on this since Lists is meant to be used for much more than a task management tool!

[arielelliott]

I didn't know the full capability of the Tasks tabs until I finished this video. Thanks for sharing :)

[joakimwasseng]

Thanks, well executed learning video for beginners. This should make it easier for a bunch of people trying to get a project started but that don’t don’t hang out in Microsoft Mechanics channel :)

[viswrjx]

Great information, very well explained. Thank you!.

[millankuyela]

Well articulated and easy to follow through

[Pankaj-Verma-]

Wonderful tutorial.
Incredibly useful.

[petrit]

Great video! I wish more people (especially my own colleagues ;)) would recognize the power of Teams and get a lot more done, and better!

This was exactly what I was after. Thanks! I have a question though: How would you best use this type of Project management to track hours? I would like to get a report/overview out of hours spent in different tasks from a team (or channel). Preferably how much time spent on tasks, based on the time it has been assigned in your Outlook calendar, but I can't find a solution for this.

Great video, easy to follow! I was able to set up my Team Project channel while I watched the video!!!

Very Clear and concise video. Truly appreciate the effort in making of this superb video. Wonder if you could make a video on how you make these professional videos. No, I am not trying to be a competition :-) . Just wanted to know how to make something as good for my organisation's intranet. Thanks.

[nikolaimanek]

Excellent! Thank you. We will give that a shot.

[Krentize]

Thank you for walking me through. I'd like this and want to know more.

[danielkuttel]

Thank you for the video, sadly for real projectmanagement I miss some essential tools. Tasks are only the top of needed functions. Without a proper tickettool, Teams is only a good part in team communication and documentation. We are working since 2 years now with teams, its a great tool, but it has place for big improvements.

>>Thanks for the video, just enough to get me excited about jumping into Teams to get a nice structured PM Project Organized for no money per month. Looking forward to watching more videos about this topic.

[nicolelateo]

Excellent video. I am wondering if there is a way to see the calendars of each channel integrated together?
Thank you

[deekod]

Howabout a walkthrough on integrating MS Project in teams?
