Microsoft Planner and Microsoft Project have been combined into one powerful tool within Microsoft 365, making it easier to manage projects of any size from one application.
Overview of the Unified Platform
Single App Access: Now, you can use both Microsoft Planner and Microsoft Project from the same app called Planner within Microsoft 365. This means you get all the project management features you need in one place.
Base Features: The essential features that were originally part of Microsoft Planner are included with your Microsoft 365 and Office 365 subscriptions at no extra cost. These basic tools are perfect for straightforward task management and small project collaboration, allowing you to organize tasks, assign them to team members, and track progress easily.
Advanced Features: If your projects are more complex and require detailed planning, the advanced features from Microsoft Project are available as add-ons. These include sophisticated tools like in-depth project scheduling, resource management, and extensive reporting to help manage larger projects effectively.
Seamless Integration: With both sets of features now available in one app, there’s no need to switch between different software for several types of project management. Whether you’re organizing daily tasks or running major projects, you can do it all from the same place, adjusting the tools you use as your needs change.
This combination means you have a flexible and scalable solution for managing any project, all integrated smoothly within Microsoft 365.
