In the new Planner app, which integrates features from Microsoft Project, you can manage your tasks using the Timeline view, which functions as a Gantt chart. The Timeline is automatically created as you build your plan, so there’s no need to add it manually. Here’s how to get started:
Create a New Plan
Open the Planner app within Microsoft Teams or your Microsoft 365 environment.
At the bottom of the side menu, click on “New Plan.”
When the pop-up appears, select “Premium” as your plan type.
Enter the name of your plan and create it.
Add Tasks
Once your plan is created, start adding tasks to it.
Enter task names, set due dates, and assign them to team members as needed.
Manage Tasks Using the Timeline (Gantt Chart)
After creating your tasks, switch to the Timeline view, where your tasks are automatically displayed in a Gantt chart format.
The Timeline allows you to visualize your project’s schedule and manage tasks effectively.
Add Dependencies: Link tasks that depend on one another by creating dependencies directly in the Timeline.
Adjust Timelines: Drag and drop tasks within the Timeline to modify their start and finish dates, ensuring your project stays on schedule.
