== '''Moving Forward with M365''' ==
By now, most across the GC are using new tools to work remotely. Microsoft 365 (M365) has been introduced across most of the GC, with each Department and Agency customizing its own deployment.
The M365 roll out may look different from organization to organization at the user level. This is due to careful planning in CIO offices who weigh various factors to plan their department’s introduction to M365. Different features are enabled for use by some, with others choosing a different set of tools.
Factors for these decisions include the size and location of the department or agency, security considerations, the nature of the work they do, their document and information management requirements and network capacity.
In addition, prior to the onset of Covid-19 and our changed work requirements, many departments and agencies were already proceeding with their M365 implementation, while others were planning their move to M365 further into the future. Plans obviously changed for all in the GC, with CIOs adjusting their schedules and decisions.
But with M365, and Teams the most used new tools, there are several options for learning about Teams’ features and applications across the GC that are helpful to all; no matter how your organization chooses to use M365.
To start, seek out the training, coaching available through your own Department or Agency. Most have an array of M365 training and support in place that best fits their own needs.
Next, there is a training portal, [https://wiki.gccollab.ca/M365 here you] where you'll find a collection of various M365-related training products. You can click on a variety of tools to get started by application (Teams, Planner, OneNote) and by training material type (virtual training, guides, videos and infographics).
There is also the “Clicks and Tips” grassroots community on GCcollab, with users from across the GC, with an increasing focus on M365 content. It has plenty of relevant and helpful discussions, posts and information. You can find [https://gccollab.ca/groups/profile/4590555 Clicks and Tips here].
Dive in and learn more about M365 soon.

There is also plenty of helpful content on the site, which continues to evolve.
The discussion tab captures discussions between colleagues from all over the GC on topics from MS Teams etiquette to IM best practices. Find out what your colleagues are sharing and talking about or better yet, ask your pressing question.
Under “Files” you’ll find a host of information clearly filed in a simple folder structure. There is information on everything from security to adaptions and communication to M365 Fact Sheets.
Additionally, M365 training content can be found on GCwiki and a supporting community is available on [[gccollab:groups/profile/4590555/enclicks-and-tipsfrclics-et-conseils|Clicks and Tips]]: GCcollab – which is another helpful site for M365 users.
