The main goal here, it seems, is to bring together these three disparate experiences (to do lists, kanban-style planning tools and project management for more complex use cases) under a single umbrella that can scale from individual task management to full-on project management. I would like to use planner for my teams, assign them tasks. Since every Microsoft service now comes with an AI copilot, there will be a copilot in Planner, too, which will be able to help users plan things faster and suggest new tasks. Many of us find it hard to delegate, since we think it’s simpler for us to do it ourselves. Meanwhile, Microsoft Project for the web will only be renamed in the coming months - some rebrandings take longer than others, I guess. Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Planner, Microsoft To Do, and Officespecifically, Word, Excel, and PowerPointall play a role in the Microsoft 365 tasks experience. Store Office files in the SharePoint document library associated with your plan and click the preview to get to work Start by attaching the file to a task. Tasks by Planner and the To Do app in Microsoft Teams will immediately be renamed to Planner, Microsoft explains in its announcement. Beyond getting a plan in place for whos doing what when, Microsoft Planner can also help you actually do some of the things you have planned.
While I was in there, I also set the start date to the date of the email to let me know when it came in. You can also make a plan just for email-based tasks. Note that I already made a From Email bucket in my primary ToDo Plan. This new experience will go by the name of “Microsoft Planner.” Use the subject from the email to identify the task. The key word there is optional: the only task detail you must enter is a name, which, if you did that for all your tasks, would turn Planner into a very simple task list. At Microsoft Ignite 2023 today, the company announced that it plans to bring together its various planning tools like Microsoft To Do, Microsoft Planner and Microsoft Project for the web into what it calls a “unified experience” that will first be available in Microsoft Teams in the spring of 2024, with the web version launching later in 2024. Each task in Planner is full of optional details, as you can see above. From your description, wed like to verify if the Microsoft To Do in Outlook desktop you mentioned points to To-Do Bar like the screenshot below (In Outlook, click View> To-Do bar>Tasks ).
