A Group allows it members access to a Sharepoint site, shared mailbox, OneNote, Planner, and other applications.

A Team includes a group but is more collaborative.  Using the Teams app you can connect with other team members using chat, video or voice and organize your documents and files into separate communication channels.

If you don't see an appropriate function or would like your department added to the list please send an email to askit@fortlewis.edu with your request.
