Microsoft Planner

Your intuitive, collaborative task management tool that helps teams plan, manage, and complete task-based initiatives. Users assign and manage tasks on a Kanban board using task cards, which they can fill with various important project information, such as due dates, status, checklists, labels, and file attachments.

Exchange Online

Your hosted cloud-based messaging solution that delivers email, calendar, contacts, and tasks from PCs, the web, and mobile devices.

With Exchange Online, emails are hosted on Microsoft’s popular Exchange Server which enables multi-device synchronization, ensuring you always have access to your emails, calendar, and contacts – from anywhere.

Benefits of Planner

Organize Work Visually

Each plan has its own Kanban board, where you can organize tasks into buckets. Plans also include content-rich tasks with expected details, such as due dates, and extra elements like color-coded labels and files.

Work Across Devices

Whether you are using your desktop or mobile device, you can access Planner through your browser or mobile app.

Boost Collaboration

Built for Office 365, Planner lets you attach files to tasks, work together on those files, and even have conversations around tasks without switching between apps.

Stay Connected Across Microsoft 365

Since Planner is part of Microsoft 365, it integrates with Microsoft To Do, SharePoint, Power Automate, and other apps for efficient task management.
