Description
Microsoft 365 makes it easier than ever for your team to organize, share, and track work all in one place – to accomplish more together. Today, we’re sharing new innovations for both Microsoft Planner and Microsoft Project for the web, and staying in sync across all in Microsoft Teams. Mukul Kumar, Director of product marketing for Planner and Project, shares updates and demos on all the latest task management announcements and capabilities.
Microsoft Planner is a great tool for work and task management if you need to quickly create plans, assign tasks, and collaborate with your team in Microsoft Teams to get things done. Project for the web offers many of the same popular Planner features but also provides more capabilities to manage projects with more flexibility and power.

A
Hello
and
Namaste
I'm
mukul
Kumar,
director
of
marketing
for
project
planner
and
Vizio.
When
we
think
about
Investments
to
these
products,
we
typically
think
in
terms
of
four
pillars:
teamwork.
You
know
you
can,
of
course
manage
a
project
together
in
teams,
including
file
sharing,
chats
meetings
and
much
more.
You
can
easily
add
new
collaborators
to
view
or
update
plan
details
like
tasks
you
can
collaborate
through
co-editing
assigning
tasks
and
requesting
input
all
within
your
project
plan.
A
Second
planning.
It's
all
about
using
flexible
tools
to
power.
Your
plants,
big
and
small,
choose
from
a
variety
of
views
and
approaches
that
best
fits
your
needs
and
preferences,
including
lists
kanban
style
boards
grids.
Timelines.
Gantt
charts

quickly
with
Dynamic

based
on
the
effort,
dependencies,
duration
and
resources

Trends
and
flag
potential
issues
quickly
through
insightful
visualizations
and
reports
gain
visibility
by
aggregating
projects
across
your
teams
in
a
visual,
interactive
timeline.
A
And,
lastly,
our
project,
Management
Solutions,
are
built
on
a
secure
platform
so
that
you
can
work
confidently
for
those
of
you
who
may
be
somewhat
familiar.
Microsoft
planner
is
a
great
tool
for
work
and
task
management.
If
you
need
to
quickly
create
plans,
assign
tasks
and
collaborate
with
your
team
in
Microsoft
teams
to
get
things
done,
it
provides
the
kanban
boards
experience
with
a
familiar
task.
Management
tool
set.
Planner
is
part
of
many
of
the
Microsoft
365
Suites,
and
it's
designed
to
seamlessly
work
with
other
Microsoft
365
apps,
especially
with
Microsoft
teams.
A
On
the
right
hand,
side
you
see
a
redesigned
project
for
the
web
app
built
entirely
in
the
cloud.
It
is
an
easy
to
start
and
simple
to
use
app
for
a
more
contemporary
user
experience.
Project
for
the
web
offers
many
of
the
same
popular
planner
feature,
but
also
provides
more
capabilities
to
manage
projects
with
more
flexibility
and
power.
A
You
can
configure
an
extend
project
and
build
automated
workflows
and
business
processes
all
to
meet
your
unique
project
management
needs
project
for
the
web
is
is
for
just
about
anyone
who
manages
their
projects
as
part
of
their
jobs,
be
it
in
marketing
HR
operations,
engineering,
Business,
Development,
the
pmo
and
more
project
for
the
web
includes
Dynamic
scheduling
and
timeline.
A
modernized
Gantt
chart
subtasks
and
dependencies
and
cross
project
visibility.
A
Planner
is
still
our
first
step
to
staying
on
top
of
your
work
and
we
are
making
it
easier
for
you
to
shift
from
planner
to
project
to
meet
the
needs,
as
your
projects
evolve
over
the
past
three
to
six
months.
Several
highly
requested
features
for
project
rolled
out.
First
is
guest
users.
You
can
invite
guests
outside
of
your
organization
to
view
your
plans
built-in
project
for
the
web,
without
the
need
for
a
project
or
Microsoft
365
license.
If
the
guest
has
a
project
Cloud
license,
then
they
can
create
and
edit
plans.
A
Speaking
of
sharing
plans,
Microsoft,
365,
E3
and
E5
users
can
not
only
view
plans
built-in
projects
for
the
web,
but
they
can
also
update
the
progress
or
the
percentage
complete
of
a
task
assigned
to
them
in
any
project.
They
are
part
of
without
a
project
license
like
planner
project
for
the
web.
Now
has
the
charts
view
you
can
quickly
assess
how
your
work
is
progressing
through
a
visual
dashboard.
So
first
is
assign
to
me
within
tasks
in
teams
for
project
now.
A
Looking
forward
today,
I'm
pleased
to
share
several
more
Innovations
coming
to
Microsoft,
planner
and
project.
So,
let's
start
the
first
one
is
assign
to
me
within
tasks
in
teams
or
project.
It's
a
highly
requested
feature
that
I'll
be
rolling
out
in
the
next
couple
of
months.
You
can
review
your
project
tasks
along
with
all
your
other
tasks
in
the
assigned
to
me
list,
which
is
included
in
the
tasks
in
teams
planner
and
to
do
apps.
Second,
one
is
project
for
the
web
includes
many
of
the
most
popular
features
for
planner.
A
Many
of
you
have
requested
a
more
seamless
way
to
work
between
the
two
ads
I'm
here,
to
tell
you
that
we
have
heard
you
loud
and
clear,
and
you
can
upgrade
and
move
a
planner
plan
to
project
or
begin
a
project
trial
right
from
planner.
If
you
are
an
IT
admin,
you
can
manage
usage
and
trials
through
dashboards,
which
is
going
to
be
available
to
you
soon.
The
third
feature
we
are
excited
about
is
the
agile
project
management
support.
It
was
in
high
demand
and
to
meet
those
requests.
A
You
can
manage
Sprints
and
backlogs
in
project
for
the
web.
This
feature
will
be
rolling
out
soon.
The
next
one
is
Task
history
in
Project.
It
gives
teams
more
visibility
to
the
changes
impacting
their
projects
for
existing
project
for
the
web
users,
Advanced
dependencies
and
increased
task
limits
scaling
all
the
way
up
to
1000
will
enable
the
management
of
bigger
and
more
involved
projects.
A
Here
is
another
view
of
all
the
things
that
we
have
released
and
the
innovations
that
are
going
to
be
coming
soon
to
you
and
I'll
walk
through
these
upcoming
features
in
the
demo.
So,
let's
jump
into
the
demo
when
working
on
projects
with
others,
it
can
get
pretty
challenging
to
coordinate
the
work,
track,
progress
and
keep
everyone
on
the
same
page.
That's
where
planner
and
project
comes
in
and
enables
teens
to
successfully
Drive
progress
with
more
control
and
organization.
A
A
Let's
take
a
quick
look
at
some
of
the
exciting
new
capabilities
we
have
added
to
project
for
the
web
to
help
you
manage
your
team
projects
to
give
you
more
control
and
flexibility
and
drive
for
results
to
make
it
super
easy
to
get
started.
Project
includes
a
set
of
templates
to
help.
You
jump
start
your
team
project
organize
the
work
meaningfully
and
onboard
team
members
to
start
executing.
A
Let's
start
with
the
business
plan,
template
to
help
Drive
the
work
of
a
product
launch
plan
in
an
agile
way
using
Sprints
planning.
Now
before
we
get
started,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
our
team
and
leadership
are
aligned
on
why
we
are
doing
this
work.
We
are
working
on
delivering
goals
for
project
to
help
drive
more
focus
and
alignment
on
team
projects
for
this
product
launch
project.
A
We've
set
up
three
primary
goals
and
we
can
easily
map
tasks
to
help
ensure
we
are
tackling
the
right
set
of
work
that
can
drive
most
impact
on
our
goals
as
the
project
grows
and
we
identify
more
work
that
needs
to
get
done
load.
Balancing
the
workload
across
the
team
becomes
critical
to
ensure
people
have
a
manageable
workload
and
we
are
able
to
better
drive
on
our
goals
as
a
team.
A
A
A
Once
our
team
is
in
execution
mode,
we
need
to
be
checking
frequently
to
make
sure
things
are
still
on
track.
That's
where
the
charts
come
in
handy
with
a
quick
scan.
I
can
check
out
progress
by
completion
status
by
bucket
by
assignment
since
the
team
is
actively
discussing
all
the
project
work
in
teams.
You
can
easily
add
the
project
as
a
tab
to
your
team's
Channel,
soon
you'll
be
able
to
review
task
history
and
get
updates
on
all
the
activities
and
progress
that
has
happened
on
the
task.
A
As
a
follow-up,
you
can
easily
start
a
chat
in
the
task
to
check
in
on
the
progress
or
provide
some
updates
to
team
members
working
on
the
task,
while
in
teams
you
can
also
go
to
the
tasks
app
and
review
the
assigned
to
me
list.
That
brings
together
all
your
tasks,
which
will
soon
include
project
tasks
as
well.
A
You
can
easily
manage
your
project
tasks
from
this
view,
including
reviewing
the
task,
details
and
updating
progress
to
share
a
sneak
peek
of
what's
up
next,
we
have
exciting
work
and
a
way
to
integrate
project
and
planner,
with
Viva
goals,
to
drive
more
alignment
and
transparency
and
progress
work
towards
our
organization
goals.
We
can
easily
show
the
progress
and
drive
for
better
impact
of
the
work
in
Viva
goals,
where
our
leadership
is
tracking
progress
towards
our
organizations
or
cares,
and
if
you
want
to
learn
more
about
Microsoft,
Project
and
planner.
