Aha! Roadmaps | Integrate with Microsoft Teams

Aha! Roadmaps powers your strategic planning so your strategy can inform every conversation you have about managing and prioritizing cross-functional work. Most of those conversations happen directly in Aha! Roadmaps, but many teams also rely on Microsoft Teams for real-time collaboration across the company.

Teams conversations are quick and immediate, but to be useful, they need strategic context. Aha! Roadmaps offers a one-way integration with Microsoft Teams so you can create an Aha! Roadmaps activity stream in Teams to funnel your roadmapping updates into one Teams channel.

In this article, we will cover the prerequisites and a brief overview of each integration.
