Microsoft Planner is a web-based application that is included with Microsoft 365 and is used to keep track of projects in a simple, visual way. Plans are used for both one-time events as well as ongoing processes such as launching a new product, creating a new website, managing a sales process, or even hiring and onboarding employees. In this hands-on session, you’ll be introduced to MS Planner and discover how it can be used for both business and personal use. 

Highlights:

  • Developing a plan
  • Creating and assigning tasks
  • Organizing tasks into buckets
  • Chatting with your Team and sharing files

This session is intended for anyone wanting to manage projects and keep track of tasks.

Optimize Productivity with Microsoft Planner is an independent seminar and is neither affiliated with, authorized, sponsored, nor approved by Microsoft Corporation.
