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

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