MS-700 Configure and Manage a Teams Environment Practice Question
An administrator is preparing for a company-wide rollout of Microsoft Teams and wants a structured checklist of tasks and a way to track progress. Which tool within the Teams admin center provides this functionality?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap is confusing planning/coordination tools (Advisor for Teams, Network Planner) with reporting tools (Usage reports) — the exam expects you to match 'checklist and progress tracking' specifically to Advisor for Teams.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Advisor for Teams
Advisor for Teams is the guided deployment tool inside the Teams admin center that provides a structured checklist, task assignments, and progress tracking for a Teams rollout. It walks administrators through planning, pilot, and organization-wide deployment phases, with best-practice guidance and the ability to assign tasks to team members. This directly matches the requirement for a checklist plus progress tracking.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Teams Usage reports
Why it's wrong here
Usage reports provide data on how users are interacting with Teams after it has been deployed, such as the number of active users and channel messages. While useful for post-deployment analysis, they do not provide a structured project management or planning framework for the initial rollout.
- ✓
Advisor for Teams
Why this is correct
Advisor for Teams analyzes your Microsoft 365 environment and creates a tailored deployment plan. It provides specific recommendations for workloads like Chat, Teams, and Meetings, and sets up a dedicated team for the deployment project to help administrators stay organized throughout the rollout process.
- ✗
Network Planner
Why it's wrong here
Network Planner is used specifically for calculating the bandwidth and network requirements of a Teams deployment. It does not provide a general project checklist or task management system for the non-network aspects of the deployment, such as governance planning or user training initiatives.
- ✗
Teams Policy packages
Why it's wrong here
Policy packages are collections of pre-defined policies that can be assigned to users with similar roles. They help simplify policy management but do not provide a project management interface or a checklist for the overall administrative tasks involved in a large-scale Teams deployment project.
