Taking the Chaos out of Teamwork!
Microsoft Office 365 Planner is designed to make it easy for teams
to work together on projects. With Office 365 Planner you can:
- Create new plans
- Organise and assign tasks
- Share files
- Chat about what you're working on
- Get progress updates
Helping teams to work more effectively together and to get more
done!
Planner is included in the Office 365 Enterprise E1-E5 subscription
plans and Office 365 Business Essentials and Premium plans.
Visualise your Tasks with Cards
A major benefit of using Planner is that it helps teams to organise
their work visually. Each plan has its own Board, and within each
Board, each work item is represented by a Card.
A Card can have due dates, attachments, categories and conversations
associated with it. Team members receive an email notification whenever
they are assigned a new Card or added to a Card conversation.
Documents or images attached to Cards automatically get rich image
previews. So you see at a glance what the Card is about.
Cards can be organised on the Board into customisable columns called
Buckets, which can be prioritised and tagged with coloured labels.
Again making it easy to see the key information at a glance.
Not Just for Projects!
Planner is a very versatile tool and as well as helping to run
projects more smoothly it can also be used for a host of other tasks
where people need to work together, for example:
- Managing a marketing event
- Brainstorming new product ideas
- Preparing for a customer visit
- Planning an office move
Great for Personal Work Planning
Planner can also help you keep your work on track with a number
of different "views".
- My Tasks view lets you filter down to see specifically what
you need to do, across every plan
- Hub view lets you track overall progress across all plans
- Charts view includes interactive charts, creating a visual display
of progress against deadlines
Planner is also an ideal way to organise your Office 365 files. You can attach your Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents to a Card and then start editing them straight away.
When a document is attached to a Card, it is stored in a SharePoint Online document library, allowing you to work on them offline too.
So, Office 365 Planner offers a number of exciting new ways to manage your work.
Team projects, organising events, generating ideas, managing your own work, Planner can help. Giving you highly visual, colour-coded plans, progress charts and reports.
