Hello folks! Happy New Year. At the start of the new year, I thought to share few ideas which will help teams/individuals/organizers organize their tasks by priority with plans and due dates. Most of us have heard about planners, to do apps & teams task planner but for beginners, this post will be helpful to stay on top of their task. Let’s discuss the three options provided by Microsoft to stay on target for the task.

Planner

Planner is a part of the Office 365 group which is 100% web based and it allows managers and team members to organize project tassk with due dates.

Steps to create a task in planner,

Click on App launcher and then Planner.

Click on New plan.

Enter a plan name and select privacy as private or public. Click on create plan.

As you create your task you can create a bucket with To do, Doing, and In Review buckets. In each bucket, you can click on Add task with a due date.

You can group buckets by  assigned to, Progress, Due date, Labels and priority.

To-Do App

To-Do app is a cloud-based task management tool which pulls planner task for an individual. To-do app allows you to organize personal task + rolling up planner task.

Task by Planner and To-Do App in Teams

This option can be added to the teams left sidebar. It pulls tasks from both planner and to-do app.

So the above three options help us to manage and organize tasks with plan, progress, priority, and due date.
