What is the best Microsoft planning tool? 

September 3, 2024

Microsoft 365 includes a variety of tools designed for various aspects of planning and project management, but the best tool for your needs depends on what exactly you’re looking to achieve. 

Microsoft Planner: A Project Management Tool 

Microsoft Planner is the go-to tool within Microsoft 365 for managing projects and tasks. It is designed more for project management rather than personal daily planning. Here’s what Planner offers: 

Project Management Focus: Planner allows you to create tasks, assign them to team members, and track progress using visual tools like Kanban boards. It’s ideal for managing team projects, collaborating in real-time, and keeping track of deadlines. 

Integration: Planner integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Teams and other Microsoft 365 apps, making it easy to manage projects within your existing workflows.
