Microsoft Planner

Description

Microsoft Planner requires an eligible Office 365 work or school subscription. This app does not support Office 365 personal accounts (for example: name@outlook.com or name@hotmail.com). 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.

Should Be For Personal Use Too

I don’t understand why it has to be work or school related to work. It would be very beneficial for people outside of those situations.

Great overall tool for work AND life

I have really enjoyed the simplicity and effectiveness of this tool for a long time!

Inaccessible

Why must I have a work/school email to access this app? Deleted.

Great app

I personally love this app for projects to delegate tasks without send a tone of emails.

By CurdelGrig

Great app, but needs to support multiple accounts

I love the app. I actively manage multiple accounts in other O365 apps, and without that functionality my use of this app is severely hampered.

Won’t load

Planner used to be wonderful but now it will not load and is very slow. Please fix

Can’t do Much

This app can’t do much of anything besides view and check items. No way to add new tasks or view shared attached files.

What I was looking for

Love the fact that Planner integrates with To Do, and that To Do also pulls in tasks from Outlook. What I wish it had was a way to directly promote Outlook emails to Planner to save on some of the typing. The search function of the web app is frustrating to use. Also ways to sort all tasks within Planner would be nice, though To D does an OK job of this. Still, it’s the best tool I’ve found so far for integrating the GTD (Getting Things Done - David Allen) methodology with my work tasks. The phone app is a plus since I can capture ideas/tasks directly without having to email myself, and then convert to Planner.

¿Built for Office 365?

If you have the right Office 365 version. I guess I don’t need to plan anything because I use o365 Personal. Owe wait! I can use Project Planner 365. Their platform works on PC, Mac, iOS, android, web portal, and everything in between. Come on. You are Microsoft. Figure this stuff out…

Needs update to copy buckets and tasks.

Microsoft please make it easier to duplicate whole buckets and shortcut to copy tasks over multiple buckets. This would save so much time! Otherwise a very handy app.
