Microsoft Office 365 Planner: You have a project; you need to share or delegate tasks to other people. Microsoft Planner enables you to create and assign tasks. You can track the progress of your own and delegated tasks. With charts and reports at your fingertips, you'll have all the resources you need to ensure your project is completed on time. Planner is a powerful yet simple to use project management tool that you and your team can utilise in a variety of ways.

Bonus: Microsoft 365 ToDo. We think that ToDo complements Planner so well that we've added it in a bonus module! They say that one of the habits of highly effective people is making lists and setting daily goals. Have you written your To Do lists on a scrap of paper or post it note, only to lose it? Create and sync your lists with Microsoft To Do. It does not matter where you are, sitting comfortably at your desktop or out and about on your mobile, you can check what tasks you need to do, and which ones are most important.

Microsoft Teams 365 is collaboration central. Explore the basics of messaging, meetings as well as how to manage your teams. Use Teams and Planner together to maximize your collaboration effectiveness.
