Microsoft 365 Planner Training Course Overview

Our Microsoft 365 Planner training course helps your team get the job done! Planner is an easy to use, card-based (Kanban) task management app. Create plans, organise and assign tasks, share files, chat about what you’re working on and get updates on progress.

Each plan has its own board where you create content-rich tasks including files, checklists, due dates and labels. All the task details are in one place. You can organise tasks into buckets and categorise them based on status or assignment. Planner automatically visualises task status into pie and bar charts.
