Just like Trello, you can drag and drop tasks from one bucket to the next. Planner lets you create new tasks, schedule deadlines, and assign specific members.Īdditional buckets can be created to manage the progress of each assigned task. If you don’t see any, you can search for them.Īfter your plan is created, you are taken to an interface that is quite familiar if you have used Trello before. Click the Add Members menu in the top-right corner, then choose an existing member. To create a new plan, click the New Plan tab, enter a name, choose whether you want to make it public or not, provide a description, then select Create Plan button.īecause Planner works around teams, you want to add some members to assign projects. Groups can be used as a jumping board for an existing plan. If you were already using Outlook Desktop Groups, they would show up in Planner. You can create a new plan, view existing plans in the hub, view assigned tasks and favorites. The taskbar on the left can be minimized, while groups can be collapsed. It features a clean, easy-to-navigate design. Wait while Office Planner configures itself.Īfter logging in, you will see an empty interface. If you don’t have access to Planner, you might need to request your administrator enable it as part of its first release. If you already have an account, log into your account and then click the Planner icon. Microsoft Planner requires users have access to one of Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) business subscriptions such as E1, E3, or E5. Setup and Use Microsoft Planner for Office 365
