Chapter 3: Task Management in Teams

Office 365 contains multiple tools for managing team assignments and personal tasks. Microsoft Planner is a lightweight task management solution designed for groups or teams to keep track of progress and collaborate on projects. Microsoft To Do is a simple app that helps you create and manage personal tasks, such as daily action items and deliverables. These separate tools in Office 365 come together in the Tasks app for Microsoft Teams, which combines your tasks from Planner and To Do into a single application, surfaced in Teams.

In this chapter, we will explore the use of Planner in Teams, Microsoft To Do, and the Tasks app in Teams. We will look at how these apps operate independently and how they come together to streamline the process of personal and team-based task management.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

  • Planner in Teams
  • Overview of To Do
  • The Tasks App in Teams
