Manage Tasks And Work
Task management is about visibility, ownership, and follow-through.
Recommended Pattern
Use a basic Planner plan for team tasks that need assignments, due dates, and progress. Keep the plan connected to the Team where the conversation and files live. Use Lists when people must maintain records over time rather than complete tasks.
Use Planner For
- Team task boards.
- Campaign plans.
- Onboarding checklists.
- Small project execution.
- Recurring operational work.
Use A Premium Planner Plan For More Complex Projects
A basic Planner plan fits straightforward team work. Consider a premium plan when the work needs dependencies, milestones, or a timeline. Check Microsoft's plan comparison and the subscriptions of people who need those features before changing the plan. Choose a specialized tool if Planner still cannot support the work.
