Abstract

In the previous chapter, I discussed the familiar Office applications and some of their benefits. In this chapter, I will review Microsoft Planner, which is an Office 365 product that allows you and your team to create tasks and plans to manage tasks and projects. With Planner, you can assign tasks to users, monitor their statuses, and report on them. By utilizing this Office 365 application, you can finally get rid of all the Post-It notes littering your desk, the countless Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, and not have to utilize Microsoft Project to manage simple or ad hoc projects which might not be available in your workplace.
