We‘d love to show you what this looks like in Planner, but don’t get too excited because in this initial release it’s only a link in MS Project (this means you can’t actually see anything in Planner). Now let’s see what this looks like in Planner. Something to be aware of: avoid using the same task name that already exists in Planner (if you do, it will come up with an error message and you will need to rename your task). You can see the Planner icon in the information column. Now, let’s get started with a short tutorial teaching you how to get the most out of this new functionality.Īll that is left to do is select “Create Link” within the pane and it will create your link. We anticipate this is only the first step, and that the Project team will continue to introduce more features. Please note, this is not an integration, just a link that allows you to have a more detailed task list in Planner if you don’t want to handle all the detailed tasks in the schedule, and have your team work only in Planner. To simultaneously manage both structured Project schedule work (using Office 365 Project Online) and less structured work using Planner, Microsoft introduced the Planner link for MS Project. Keep in mind Microsoft’s Planner is not a replacement for a pure Agile project management process, however it does the job nicely for task management, with the added benefit of having its own Microsoft developed mobile app. Here at Sensei, we’ve been using Planner for quite some time to manage the internal backlog of our Solutions Team and to easily determine who is meant to be doing what. There are plenty of reasons why you would want to use Planner, Microsoft’s Office 365 tool that allows you to manage tasks within a plan without having to manage a full schedule.
