Team Templates in Teams:

If you haven't noticed, there are configurable Teams templates available for your tenants. With this feature, there are 10+ (13) prepared templates for every organization. But the admin center allows for customizations of existing templates and creation of your own templates.

According to the roadmap, the feature is being rolled out this month.  And you can read all about how to work with these templates in the documentation library.
