I really like how visually simple it is yet it shows all the key information easily so you can see what is late, in progress, not started and completed. To get a high level overview of your plans you can got to the ‘Planner Hub’ which shows a snapshot of how your plans are progressing (once you’ve added members and created tasks). If not, you can create a plan quickly by clicking New Plan: As mentioned earlier, if you have any pre-existing Groups set up then then will automatically have a plan created against them and will appear on the Planner homepage. To start, you need to create your first plan. It is definitely worth reviewing to see how it compares to anything you are paying for.

Project or task management tools cost extra and add additional licence costs to your company, so adopting Planner can cut costs. It’s included with all the business Office 365 subscriptions, so if you’re using Office 365 at work then it’s very likely you have access to Planner. The other very simple reason to consider Microsoft Planner is cost.

Using Planner means that you can easily integrate your tasks into Outlook, attach and view task documentation by linking to SharePoint, discuss a project within Teams while having you Plan open, hop onto a video call (with Teams, formerly Skype for Business) and much more! Using a third party tool requires switching in and out of applications and reduces productivity and can cause annoyance when trying to integrate or link to another well used application. Microsoft have created a suite of apps that all complement one another and work beautifully together. Planner natively integrates with all the other Office 365 applications and using a tool within the Microsoft ‘ecosystem’ is very efficient. There are two main reasons why you should consider switching to Planner for task and project management: Microsoft integrations and cost.
