Microsoft Planner
Some look at Microsoft Planner and think of it as a copy or being a "me too" Trello. It's so much more than that and has some exciting ideas. I like it mainly for getting any team coordinated in a single tool. I've used Trello for a while, but since switching to Microsoft's stack, Planner has been a pleasant surprise. I'll go over some of its use cases, integrations with Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and, most importantly, Power Automate. Automation is critical in a smooth-running team being, whether small or large. Having a simple but fully featured tool like Microsoft Planner integrated with Power Automate helps get some of the processes going automatically. My focus will be to show you how it blends in with your team and creative ways to collaborate.
