Microsoft 365.

Where Microsoft 365 fits on a long engagement.

The Graph API is what makes Microsoft 365 programmable as one estate rather than as separate products. Mail, calendars, files, users and Teams messages are reachable through one interface with one authentication model, which removes a great deal of per-service integration work.

Permission scopes need care because the API reaches a lot. Application permissions granting access across an entire tenant are convenient and concentrate risk severely; delegated permissions acting as a specific user are narrower and usually the correct choice.

What an assigned team does with Microsoft 365.

Teams is increasingly where business processes surface. An approval that happens in a Teams message rather than in a system someone has to open completes faster, for the same reason it does in any chat platform people already use.

Building automation where people already work is a design decision as much as a technical one, scoped with outsource ux design alongside the engineering.

What we use Microsoft 365 for.

• One API across the estate Mail, files and calendars through Graph rather than per-service integration.
• Delegated permissions preferred Narrow access as a specific user rather than tenant-wide application scope.
• Processes surfaced in Teams Approvals where people already are rather than in a system they must open.

How Microsoft 365 capacity is assigned.

Microsoft estate integration is assigned inside development capacity, with permission scope reviewed as a security decision.
