Hi MarkBeetson-6954,

To get ready for your Teams rollout, here is what you need to do:

• Prepare your organization's network for Teams
• Get Teams licenses for everybody. Check out Teams plans and Microsoft Teams service description.
• Learn about the benefits of installing the desktop, web, and mobile clients

Then, follow the four steps to rollout your first set of teams and channels:

1. Create your first teams and channels
2. Onboard early adopters
3. Monitor usage and feedback
4. Get resources to plan your organization-wide rollout
