How I use Microsoft Lists to run my team. This product gives me great power and delight to stay organized and help run the organization. #MicrosoftLists

1 - ✈ International PM Travel Approval - (prior to C19) every travel request must first be approved. This list captures information such as destination, dates, reason for travel, class of service, and booking URL. Uses Power Automate and Approvals. #MicrosoftLists #PowerAutomate

2 - 🎯 OKRs - We track our 3 objectives and 15 KRs for our team here. Heavy use of formating. One place for everyone in the team to visit and see how we are doing against our goals and priorities. #MicrosoftLists

3 - 🎂 Employee Milestones - every time an employee in my team celebrates their 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 year anniversary my LT gets an email the week before and on the day of a Teams post is made in our team so everyone can celebrate the important day #MicrosoftLists #MicrosoftTeams

4 - 👩‍💼 Talent - I use this list to keep organized on my team (name, manager, etc). My LT uses this list to stay organized on talent discussions and facilitate discussion and process. #MicrosoftLists

5 - 🎉 Thank You Cards - Once a month I send a thank you card to someone in the team. This list allows my LT to nominate individuals and for me to track who I sent the cards to. #MicrosoftLists

6 - 🏗 Teams + ODSP Shared Outcomes - The ODSP and Teams orgs build features together for our customers. This list tracks all the high-level projects along with status, owners, target quarters, and at-risk items. We use this to drive our monthly sync meetings. #MicrosoftLists

7 - 🏫 Manager Learning Path - A complete list of all the training offerings for managers at Microsoft along with details on each course. Handy reference. #MicrosoftLists
