Microsoft’s project management software is now called Microsoft Planner. Over the years, Microsoft has offered three main tools for project and task management:
Microsoft Project: Originally designed for complex project management, offering advanced features like task dependencies, resource allocation, and budget tracking.
Microsoft Planner: Geared towards more visual and simpler project management, ideal for teams managing tasks and collaborating on projects.
Microsoft To-Do: Focused on personal task management, allowing users to create and manage individual to-do lists.
These tools have been integrated into a unified app, rebranded as Planner. This new Planner app combines the capabilities of Microsoft Project, Planner, and To-Do, providing a comprehensive solution for managing tasks and projects within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
While Microsoft To-Do and the original Microsoft Planner are still available as individual apps, the most enhanced experience is with the new Planner, which is best accessed via Microsoft Teams. This integration allows users to manage tasks and projects within a single, streamlined platform.
