Benefits:

Further guidance to consider before creating a team can be found on the Microsoft Teams webpages , this includes:
- Loughborough University naming conventions. Prefix your team name with a school, department, programme, project or similar short code: e.g. ITS-Project X
- Team types. Loughborough University commonly use Class type teams for teaching and Other for all other cases. Once a team is created this cannot be changed.
- Your responsibilities as a team owner
