The new Microsoft Planner
Keep You and Your Team Organized with Planner
Organize Visually
Getting you and your team organized could not be easier. Launch the app and start effortlessly creating new plans, build teams, assign and set task due dates. With the visually appealing app you can view tasks grouped by buckets, assigned to, progress, due date, or labels. With an intuitive design and drag and drop abilities you will find that using Planner is a straightforward process.
Collaborate Easily
Work together seamlessly with the ability to easily see who is working on what, as well as the progress for each assignment. Within each task you have the ability to assign multiple team members, attach files, create a checklist, and have a conversation – so everything you need to get a task done is right in one place.
Always Informed
You can access planner across multiple devices and even add it to your Teams channels. With email notifications you will always be notified if any changes happen, you are assigned a new task, or someone replied to a conversation within the task.
What is the Difference Between the new Microsoft Planner, Project Online, and To-Do?
Easily create and assign simple plans and tasks all within office groups
Planner is a lightweight application that comes with most Office 365 for business subscriptions. With Planner you and your team can create simple plans and tasks, assign and set a due date, chat and link related documents, and see charts of your team’s progress. You can also use Planner from within Microsoft Teams and Microsoft SharePoint.
Track complex to simple projects, portfolios, and timesheets you have access to
Project Online is a web-based application that can handle more complex project and portfolio management. Project managers can create schedules, view multiple timelines and assign tasks. Portfolio managers can look across all projects and run real time reporting with Power BI.
Microsoft To-Do
Prioritize and complete your essential tasks for the day
The simple to use To-Do app lets you list and sort all your work and personal tasks so you can keep organized and can easily see prioritized items. Your To-Do list can be accessed from your outlook account. With this app you can only see your own lists and it’s intended use is not to track a project, but easy and straightforward tasks.
