- 6. Microsoft’s Vision for Tasks Microsoft’svision for tasks in Microsoft 365 revolves around these core principles: • Coherence: tasks experiences across Microsoft 365 will have a consistent and familiar experience anywhere they occur, to enable action, navigation, and discovery by users. • Intelligence: tasks will leverage the intelligent services underpinning Microsoft 365, such as the Microsoft Graph or MyAnalytics, to proactively help users manage and prioritize their workload. • Integration: wherever a task experience exists in Microsoft apps and services, it will connect to and feed into one of two key task-management endpoints – To Do for individual task management, or Planner for team task management. @buckleyplanet
- 8. Is this aboutreinventing Project Management? The project management and portfolio management space has been crowded for decades, with no single solution “owning” the space. While MS Project could make an argument for the leader position, the most common tool actually used for project management schedule building and planning is Excel. With the expansion of cloud-based solutions, however, there seems to be a trend toward kanban list management tools, which better fit the agile project management needs employed by many organizations. @buckleyplanet

- 11. Project Management should be partof your Collaboration Strategy Modern project management is about capturing the information necessary to track tasks, and provide data for managers to make decisions. That’s it, in a nutshell. You may or may not agree with this definition, but at its core, project management is just another aspect of collaboration and knowledge management, albeit at a much more tactical level. @buckleyplanet
- 12. The primary problemwith MS Project is that hardly anyone uses the deep, complex functionality it provides. Project, historically, has not provided the “Casual PM” with the tools they need – more than a simple work breakdown structure and Gantt chart, less than the detailed resource management tools and analytics. Most people want something in-between; something that allows them to get more work done, check deadlines across projects (the portfolio view), and NOT get hung up in advances features that burden rather than help. Is this Planner? @buckleyplanet

Microsoft Project Microsoft Projectremains as one of the leading desktop PM tools on the market, but with the Project Online and Planner integration, users can manage the granular tasks in Planner while the project owner maintains oversight and control of the entire project plan. @buckleyplanet

Microsoft Teams (Tasks byPlanner and To Do) Tasks in Teams integrates both To-Do and Planner, so individuals who frequently divide their attention across personal and team tasks will have a view that includes both. For users of To-Do and Planner, it is also a great way to access tasks while communicating with a team, without having to switch apps. @buckleyplanet
