Running a Microsoft 365 tenant means keeping up with a constant stream of Message Center posts, roadmap announcements, feature releases, and admin notifications. The information exists, but turning it into something your organization can actually act on is another story. In this session, you'll learn how to build an intelligent update pipeline using native Microsoft 365 capabilities, Power Automate, Copilot, SharePoint, and the Microsoft 365 Roadmap MCP. We'll centralize Microsoft announcements, enrich them with AI, classify what's actually relevant to your organization, and automatically route important changes into Planner, Teams, SharePoint, or email. Instead of checking multiple portals every day, you'll build a repeatable system that transforms Microsoft's roadmap into your organization's roadmap, complete with automation, prioritization, and actionable planning. You'll leave with practical patterns you can implement immediately, without buying another product or drowning in admin noise.
I am a Microsoft 365 Solutions Architect, 2x Microsoft MVP, and MGCI Regional Leader helping organizations make Microsoft 365 less complicated and a lot more useful. With more than 20 years of experience in web development, IT administration, and systems integration, I specialize in SharePoint, Teams, Power Platform, Copilot, governance, and adoption, focused on getting more from the tools organizations already have. My work centers on modernizing legacy solutions, simplifying development practices, and building governance frameworks that are practical, sustainable, and human-centered. More recently, I have focused on Copilot readiness and adoption, helping organizations move beyond simply keeping the lights on and start using Microsoft 365 to work, collaborate, and create in better ways. Whether I am speaking at a conference, writing a blog post, or working with clients, my goal is always the same: make Microsoft 365 a little less confusing and a lot more useful. I spend as much time helping people navigate change as I do helping them navigate technology. Outside of client work, I am an international speaker, community builder, and author of UnsuckM365, where I share practical, no-fluff stories from real Microsoft 365 environments. I am also a bedroom DJ who believes music and technology have a lot in common. Both connect people, tell stories, and create new ways of thinking.
