Description

Microsoft Planner requires an eligible Office 365 work or school subscription. This app does not support Office 365 personal accounts (for example: [email protected] or [email protected]). If you are not sure about your company’s subscription or the services you have access to, please contact your IT department. Planner provides a simple, visual way to organize teamwork. Planner makes it easy for your team to create new plans, organize and assign tasks, share files, chat about what you’re working on, and get updates on progress. -- Organize work visually -- Each plan has its own board, where you can organize tasks into buckets. You can categorize tasks based on their status or on whom they’re assigned to. To update the status or change assignments, just drag and drop tasks between columns. -- Visibility -- The My Tasks view provides a comprehensive list of all your tasks and their status across all your plans. When working together on a plan, team members always know who is working on what. -- Collaborate -- Built for Office 365, Planner lets you work together on the same tasks, attach captured photos directly to them, and even have conversations around tasks without switching between apps. With Planner, all your team’s discussions and deliverables stay with the plan and don’t get locked away across disparate applications. -- Works across devices -- Planner works across all your devices. And with Planner, everyone is always on the same page. Continue conversations and updates tasks while on-the-go or at your desk.

If you choose to take a photo to attach to a Planner task, the app will request permission to access your Camera app.

  • Very basic

    Does not have even the minimal functionality to use as a planner. Can only create lists of tasks. No ability to see what needs to be done today.
  • The best always for any organization

    I wish they would add voice to text. Some of best thoughts come when I can’t type.

    Please make this available for 365 personal accounts
  • Good looking but vulnerable and insecure

    I’ve been using Planner for several years to manage assignments within my engineering department. It’s a great communication tool with good features. I like the fact that it provides a comment log and checklist so that projects can be handed off to other engineers or teams. I also like the mobility when using the app. I use it at weekly one-on-one reviews to discuss progress and prioritize. However, any member of the group can change or even delete a task. There is no security so that the owner of the task has control. Furthermore, once a task or bucket is deleted, that’s it! Sayonara baby. It’s gone forever. No undo. No warning the owner or even the deleter that it will be lost permanently. My IT department backs up OneDrive files, but no way to backup Planner. I lost two years’ worth of project info this way. It’s like losing your house to a fire after the Insurance company handed out torches to your guests and then after the fire they tell you “oh that’s too bad. We’re sorry that happened. “

    I used to use Ms Project in PC but there is no App for phone which limits me. Instead i started using it and i great so far. I will like to see better integration to One Note, like habing the ability to have a section in task to be a page in one note to gain max flexibility when defining tasks. I also would like to see better integration with Power Automate, so that it can create probably in SharePoint for example, or create items, and Sharpoint lists when I create a project or new plan. As well as better connectors to OneNote in Power Automate, so that I can create a page and add a title to it.
  • Needs to be available to personal accounts

    I use this fantastic app extensively at work. It is, in my opinion, the best planning/kanban app out there. However, the fact that we can't use it with our personal accounts is CRAZY. Having Planner available on my personal account would make me pay for 365. But no. 5 stars for the app -2.5 stars (rounded to -3) for not being available to me personal account.
  • Super Helpful tool!

    …tasks in To Do could be moved to buckets in Planner. Currently, there are round about ways of doing it but you can’t copy a whole checklist from To Do to Planner. If you are like me and use Teams and Outlook for communication, collaboration, and task management, then the Microsoft 365 suite should seamlessly work together. They don’t. I like being able to flag an email as a task for myself, but unless you share your To Do list with others on your team, you can’t assign it to anyone or put it in the shared planner. Also, the one thing I need out of Planner is a dependency Gantt chart, but that is only available if you upgrade to Project (soon to be just Planner - Still no clarification as to getting Gantt with that). Why pay for Microsoft 365 if you have to pay extra for things that Apple gives freely.
