Microsoft Teams

The gap Teams can’t fill

Section titled “The gap Teams can’t fill”

Microsoft Teams is where your team communicates. But communication isn’t process.

When someone asks “can you approve this?” in a Teams message, there’s no assigned owner, no deadline, no escalation. If that message gets buried in a busy channel, the work simply doesn’t happen. Teams can’t track whether a request was completed or hold anyone accountable.

Teams Approvals (built on Power Automate) handles simple linear approvals - but it can’t manage multi-step processes with conditional routing, parallel tasks, or cross-department coordination.

What Teams handles:

  • Real-time messaging and channels
  • Video meetings and calls
  • File sharing via SharePoint
  • Basic approvals via Power Automate

What falls through the cracks:

  • Request tracking with clear ownership and deadlines
  • Multi-department approval workflows
  • SLA enforcement and automatic escalation
  • Process visibility and completion metrics
  • Conditional routing based on request type or data
  • Audit trails for compliance

Teams is where people talk. Tallyfy is where work gets tracked and done.
