Session Let’s Deploy Profile+
Session Description: Recently at Microsoft Build three new Power Apps for Microsoft Teams were released into a preview - Perspectives, Boards, and Profile+. This session is going to get hands-on and take you through the deployment of Profile+ from start to finish. Profile+ has been defined as ‘help[ing] you quickly lookup colleagues, understand org structure and roles, and learn about open positions. You can update your profile right from within Teams and express your personality by adding an introduction and even a video. You can get to know colleagues better by understanding their current projects, areas of expertise, goals, and interests. Why is this so important? Because in a remote environment, we may never get to meet them. Because sometimes when we are added to Teams where let’s face it, we don’t know anything about the other people within it. Wouldn’t it be great if we could discover a little more about them? Now, we can without having to create something from scratch
