What Can It Do?
In business organizations, it can be used to collect customer feedback, measure employee satisfaction, improve your product or business, or organize company events.

Forms
With Microsoft Forms, creating a form is quick and simple. Form questions do not have correct answers, you can use these questions to plan events, gather company feedback or poll people or anything else you can think of. You can check out form responses to see how many people participated and the persons answers. If you want to, you can even export responses to excel.
Quizzes
If you have ever taken a test or applied for a driver’s license, you have taken something similar to what Microsoft terms a Quiz. When you create a quiz, you create a form. With every question you ask, you can add a rating to it. With quizzes, you can assign a grade to each question. After grading the responses, a grade can be posted. The act of posting allows the test taker to see their grade. That easy! Forms is a simple, yet powerful tool for gathering feedback, measuring customer satisfaction, and more!
