What’s the best approach for deploying Microsoft Teams across our organization?

Simply turning on Teams leads to chaotic deployments, redundant team creation, and security gaps. Our strategic Teams deployment begins with our governance framework that establishes clear naming conventions, retention policies, and security parameters before deployment. We then implement our phased adoption strategy with department champions, targeted training modules, and usage analytics to drive proper adoption. This structured approach prevents the "Teams sprawl" that plagues most organizations while ensuring proper security configurations for external sharing, guest access, and data protection – critical areas where default settings create significant security risks.
