Microsoft Planner

Microsoft Planner is a friendly, visual way to keep a team coordinated, and this area collects everything I have learned about pushing it further. Here you'll find guides on task management, team rituals, and the automation that makes Planner feel effortless. I show you how I manage tasks automatically in Planner using Power Automate, how to send an email and create a task in one motion, and how to feed one to-do list from multiple sources so nothing slips through the cracks. Planner has quirks worth knowing, so I explain how to add more than 255 characters to a task, how to assign one task to multiple people, and how to work around the limit of 25 labels. For the big picture, I walk through Schedule View, filtering for optimal performance, and building charts for maximum productivity. I also cover how Planner blends with Microsoft Teams and SharePoint.
