Microsoft has recently released their adoption resource website  https://resources.techcommunity.microsoft.com/adoption/  which is a great resource for anyone using Office 365. In this blog I wanted to specifically call out the SharePoint resources that they have available. These resources are great for any organizing and provide great insights on adoption, governance, and training in your SharePoint environment:  https://resources.techcommunity.microsoft.com/resources/SharePoint-adoption/ The website reviews key stakeholders, scenarios on SharePoint usage, awareness of the platform, and finally training.

So even if something was first announced years ago someone may be discovering it for the first time today. Blogs and Twitter today are usually focused on what's new and exciting and sometimes gloss over very useful resources because "everyone should know about it." So while I love to talk about what's new and exciting, from time to time I'll take a step back and try to get you the information you need to have the best experience in the O365/SharePoint worlds. So if you're just starting to get in the O365/SharePoint world beyond just being an end user you may be wondering how to get started, well lucky for you Microsoft has great communities build around the two great O365 tracks with different intere...
