Our values and beliefs, our families' needs, our personalities, and preferences, how energized or deflated Microsoft feel when seeing our Calendars or To-Dos — these are vital facets of productivity.
And because nobody knows your external circumstances or inner emotional state better than you, achievement needs to happen on your terms to be sustainable.
This is perhaps truer than ever because, for many, 2020 swallowed the whole proverbial work/life divide. Understanding this propels us to craft Microsoft 365 experiences that support our lives in all their unique complexity.
Microsoft is also crafting experiences that acknowledge the broader ecosystem that Microsoft 365 lives within. As the world wakes up to racial injustice, the economic gap between "essential" and "non-essential" workers, and the long-term cost of a digital learning divide, Microsoft intentionally and ethically designing digital spaces to support diverse lived experiences.
As product makers, Microsoft goes where human need takes us and strives to navigate the nexus of timeless needs and current realities.
That ecosystem increasingly decouples app capabilities from the apps themselves, leaving you free to use functionality whenever, however, and wherever you need it.
New generations' embrace of mobile devices for their ease, simplicity, and joy has inspired us to create cross-platform Microsoft 365 experiences that scale gracefully and feel natural to whatever device you choose.
Today, the future of Microsoft 365 blends our planned trajectory with real-time changes based on the remarkable complexities that 2020 dropped at the world's feet. Microsoft center our efforts around four key experience pillars, and the work you'll read about below is itself a hybrid. While some of these changes will roll out within a year or two, others are still very exploratory.
As the world adapts to learning, living, and working from home in unprecedented ways, Microsoft sees a wider range of human experiences being lived on the Internet than ever before. This causes unique benefits and stresses.
While acute meeting fatigue is on the rise, it is also humanized to join a team meeting and look for pets, sports equipment, or other interests you never knew about. To maximize the benefits and minimize the challenges, Microsoft design Microsoft 365 experiences that address both the logistical and emotional aspects of connectivity.
Anyway, it does provide a backup, but it is suggested that a third-party vendor would do a better job in backing up crucial Microsoft 365 data. Office 365 backup is a must!
Logistically, Microsoft wants applications to communicate smoothly so that experiences are cohesive and collaborations are fun and fluid.
As part of "Teams," Microsoft creates more dynamic and contextual experiences such as "Planner", "PowerPoint," and "Dashboard", as well as the lighting of "Teams for Life" and its integration in Skype. Microsoft's fluid framework empowers much of this - it helps us split applications into bite-sized components that are live, mobile, and experience-related.
Microsoft also is adding more asynchronous capabilities across Microsoft 365, so you can connect when and how it suits you best. This reduces meeting fatigue.
When you can use video in async scripts (imagine commenting via quick video response), your pages glow through which people can overlook written conversations or live meetings with complex group dynamics.
