This cheat sheet will help you get started in Planner so your team can get right to work. How Planner is organized

Planner’s not of much use without plans, however, so to rectify that, create a new plan by selecting + New plan in the left pane of the Planner window. You’ll see the New Plan dialog box shown below. (If it’s your first time in Planner, the New Plan dialog box automatically pops up.) IDG Who has the most tasks. If there’s a sense that one member of your team has more tasks than others, the bars on the Charts view will show the quantity of individual tasks assigned to each member. This makes it an easy visual reference to seeing who might be overloaded. Enter a name for the plan and choose whether everyone in your company can see your plan or whether you’d like to keep it private. (Later you’ll have a chance to add team members who can access the plan.)Aside from being 'Project' guy I'm also a Mind-Mapper and a creature who likes features! My last recommendation is a big-stretch without a doubt, I know but here it goes. As not all projects are waterfall by nature, provide an option to build the Project Plan or WBS via a mind-mapping-like front end and provide an option for some portion of a project's functionality to include project methods that are iterative or short structured-runs. It seems like this would further broaden your appeal to those who engage in a wide-range of project management methodologies. That is, however, the extent of the reporting in Planner. While it’s better than nothing and can save you some time, it is no match for resource planning or project management software. What Planner is not Yes the curved dependency lines are ugly. But it clearly indicates dependent relations better than the straight lines. We asked you to “stay tuned” throughout the last section to see how different task fields inform other Planner functions. Here, we’ll explore the two most important.

With Any.do, you can visualize your daily plans as a simple to-do list. You’ll see your to-do items segmented by when they are due — today, tomorrow, or someday later. Rather, it is a casual tool designed to help organize a workgroup project. There are no inherent time limits or scope limits for these projects, but the rule of thumb is the simpler, the better: I can’t really see using Planner as a comprehensive planning resource with more than about a dozen people, max. Otherwise it is too rudimentary a model. (For more details about the differences between Project and Planner, see Matt Wade’s helpful post “ Which Tool When: Microsoft Project or Microsoft Planner?”) Charts view: Like all views in Planner, the Charts view is available at the top of a plan next to the plan’s name. It shows several highly visual yet simple charts that display the status of all the tasks in your plan based on the details mentioned earlier. You can drill into status specifics using the same filtering options as the Board view, but the difference is that the Charts view also shows how many tasks are due tomorrow, marked Urgent, or labeled “Pending review,” in addition to listing the individual tasks with those attributes in the right-hand pane. While you’ll likely spend most of your time in the Board view, the Charts view is a great resource for plan leaders to gauge progress and plan members to understand their tasks in the context of others. With Todoist, you can capture tasks for your personal and professional commitments. Once added, you can organize tasks into projects and subtasks.

Of all the optional task details, the Due date is probably the most important. Create tasks from Teams messages : As ad hoc to-dos come up in one-on-one Teams chats, group messages, or meeting conversations, select the ellipses in that conversation bubble and choose “Create task.” The newly created task will automatically appear in the Planner plan you select so you can manage it in the context of your other related work. Thankfully, today you have a number of software options to set a schedule and get work done. Plus, these applications are available for a variety of platforms — web, desktop, and mobile. There are a lot of options when it comes to planning apps. You get apps for personal and professional use as well as individual and team use. The ability to move a Task/Milestone under an indented project structured without the given having to be indented first.

Todoist also allows you to delegate tasks to your team and visualize everyone’s work on a Kanban board. Key features When you start a new plan, you can set it to be visible to anyone in your organization or only to those you invite to it. One note: as this article posts, Microsoft is in the midst of a change that brings team tasks created in Planner and individual tasks created in its To Do app together in Teams. As part of the process, it is currently shifting the name of Planner within the Teams client to “Tasks by Planner and To Do,” then at some point in the future changing the app name again, this time to just “Tasks.” According to Microsoft, “these name changes will not impact the naming for Planner or To Do experiences outside of Teams,” but it could be a confusing rebrand for users who like the experience of managing their day-to-day tasks within Teams. The last wordTasks that are late. In this view, you can see the number of tasks that are past due, not started, in progress, and completed, as well as the overall number of tasks that remain incomplete in your plan. You can also use the filters to filter just the late tasks if it’s Friday afternoon and you’re in the mood to break faces.
