📋 The Lowdown

Microsoft Planner is a task management tool for users on Microsoft 365 Business subscriptions. It's a suitable solution for individuals and teams who want to track tasks using Kanban boards (a.k.a. Plans). Planner seamlessly integrates with Microsoft SharePoint and Teams, allowing you direct access to your tasks in other Microsoft apps you work with the most. You can drag and drop tasks cards into different "Buckets" on your board, assign yourself and others in your 365 Group, add attachments, checklists, and create labels to further categorize your tasks. Planner also comes with a charts view that helps track the status and progress of your board. However, Planner caps out at task management, and is not recommended for full-fledged project management (PM). If you're looking for a PM tool from Microsoft, see Microsoft Project.
