![]() (I am currently dealing with an enterprise environment that use Teams first, which created a hidden SharePoint that is violating company's permission rules because they didn't assign Teams to the pre-setup SharePoint site that had the correct permissions levels. This is an app temple from Microsoft and is pretty easy to setup. It also helps in keeping everything together.įor example, in SharePoint, you can connect to Planner and use SharePoint workflow with a Power App to automatically pull in newly created Planner tasks and send the information to Teams, Outlook, etc for people to review or approved. The biggest trick with SharePoint is that SharePoint is your database for your project and you want to feed into the database, not have the database feed to the branches like Teams and Project. It also easier to name everything after the SharePoint site SharePoint has an easy to use apps that can pull and push all the information, with a simple method of automating the approval/ workflow process. The reason for this is to future proof yourself and use SharePoint as your jumping off place. Then connect Planner, Teams, and everything else to the SharePoint site. Here is the trick, set up your SharePoint site first as a Teams project site. Any advice on how to make that work would be appreciated. ![]() If you didn't, tldr: I'm an intern trying to make project management of a small company work using Teams, Microsoft Planner, Outlook, and To Do. Thanks for your advice and making it through my wall of text. What we do not want is a new piece of software to decentralize things and complicate things further, because as I said, I do think we technically already have what we need, Microsoft's integration of things is actually very nice, I think it's more of a matter of learning how to work with it. If anyone can point me in the right direction for these sorts of issues I'd be grateful. I know there's some kind of link set up between Sharepoint and Teams and the projects or at least part of the projects do get saved on there as well, but it's not very transparent to me how that works and I'm not entirely sure how to work with it myself. When a project is done, we want to be able to archive it. Like if a client sends an e-mail they need a new computer set up quickly to the technician and they forget about it we need someone else to be able to check up on that to make sure to remind them, small time stuff like that. We want a secretary to be able to check up on projects or support issues to make sure nothing gets lost. We need to be able to make projects, assign multiple people to them, keep them updated, make sure they get emails to notify them of everything that happens in their projects with easily accessible links. I've looked into these programs a bit more and honestly, it feels like all the functionality for what we do need is technically there. What we do have right now is a Microsoft 365 setup with Teams, Sharepoint, Planner, and Outlook. (Don't look at me like that, I've been championing GitLab since we got here and somebody's working on making that a thing, but you try making old Cobol software run through a CI CD pipeline.) ![]() We manage this using an Excel spreadsheet. We have programmers who work on their part of the software and make a release a few times a year. ![]() Our way of making software is simple (call it very outdated if you will). We don't have massively complicated projects. I'm trying to help with this issue and I'm starting to understand what we want/need. We once had a ticketing system, but nobody actually used it, it was too complicated for most employees apparently. We've tried a multitude of systems, all without success. I've found in my months spent here that we are not as well organized as anyone would like and everyone around here knows this. We make our own small business software, but we also sell hardware, do support for what we sell and set up and manage our clients' entire IT systems if they want us to. I'm interning in a small IT firm that basically does everything.
