Microsoft Planner

Microsoft Planner is a way to organise teamwork and tasks. It provides a hub for team members to create plans, organise and assign tasks to different users and to check updates on progress through dashboards. It also provides a centralised place where files can be shared and gives visibility to the whole team.

With Microsoft Planner, you can:

  • Create a task list for your team/project.
  • Set task owner, completion dates, sub-task checklists, group tasks in ‘buckets’, assign labels and add attachments.
  • Set notifications for task owners to indicate tasks have been assigned/are due.
  • Plan an event or a project launch.
  • Publish content and manage the publishing process for articles and blog posts.
  • Create and follow a process such as monitoring colleagues or student tasks from scheduling to follow up.

Planner is accessible online via Office.com.
