Your company is considering adopting Microsoft 365 in hopes that it will contribute to workplace productivity. You’re part of a team your manager has assembled to evaluate the Microsoft 365 tools. As the first step in the project, you have been asked to submit an initial evaluation of the Microsoft 365 collaboration tools, Teams and OneDrive, and how they can improve the way teams work together.

Preparation

To prepare for your report, research how using Teams and OneDrive can increase collaboration among team members at work. Use the Strayer Library or high-quality authoritative websites [Video] to find at least two sources. Sources cannot include your course textbooks.

Requirements

You’ve been using Microsoft Teams and OneDrive for a few weeks. Drawing on your experience with using Teams and OneDrive so far, along with the research you’ve conducted, write a 2-3 page informal report for your manager. You will need to store the document in OneDrive so that you can all work collaboratively on the same document.

Your report should include the following:

Introduce both Teams and OneDrive with a brief description of their functionality. This portion should be 1-2 paragraphs in length.

Hypothesize the value of incorporating Microsoft Teams and OneDrive into the workplace and provide rationale and examples to support your hypothesis.

Provide at least three specific examples of how your team has used these tools to collaborate in the past few weeks.

Incorporate two additional sources outside of your textbooks that show how the tools can increase collaboration among team members. Sources should all be high quality.

Keep in mind this is a report for your manager, who will likely it share with other stakeholders. Include an introductory paragraph that states the purpose of the report, as well as a conclusion paragraph that ties everything together. Your writing should be professional and free of grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors.

Following Strayer Writing Standards, cite the resources you used from your research.

Use Microsoft Word to create your initial document, and then save it in OneDrive. Use OneDrive to work together on the document and prepare it for submission. Each of you should submit the same document individually in Canvas. In addition, provide the link to the document in OneDrive with your submission. Keep in mind that OneDrive records the version history of the document to confirm that all team members participated in the creation of the document.
