The new Tasks app is really an update to the Planner app, with new features and (eventually) a new name. The Planner app is already available inside the Teams client, but previously it showed a board view of all your Planner tasks, plus new tasks assigned to you in the main Activity feed and the full Kanban board and calendar views if you added a Planner plan to a specific channel as a tab. This approach should also reassure everyone that Planner and To Do aren’t going away in favour of a new Tasks app, because while you can see tasks in the same place, they will continue to have different features depending on the app in which they were originally created. SEE: Office 365: A guide for tech and business leaders (free PDF) (TechRepublic)īut the name for the new way to look at tasks in one place is going to change several times, in an attempt to help people who are familiar with the separate Planner and To Do tools get used to the new option. It includes a new way for firstline workers and personal users to get tasks and some other Planner features, and marks significant progress in unifying tasks across different Microsoft tools and services. The integration of Planner and To-Do into Teams as the Tasks app, announced last year at Ignite, is now finally starting to roll out, creating a single place to see tasks from multiple sources. Even when Microsoft introduced new task management tools - Planner for team tasks and To Do (based on Wunderlist) for individual tasks - that used the Exchange task format from Outlook rather than creating yet another task format, connecting the different task lists meant extra work: installing the To-Do app or Planner app in Teams, or creating Power Automate flows. In Teams, see your To Do tasks and Planner tasks alongside each other using the Tasks app.For many years, Microsoft has had isolated tasks in different systems: Outlook, OneNote, Project, SharePoint and Azure DevOps all had separate task lists with no single place to see everything you needed to do. In To Do, select Assigned to you to see tasks assigned to you. The best part is that you can use To Do and Planner together, to compliment each other. In Teams, you can work on your plan right alongside team Posts and Files. Teammates will get notification of assignments and other events through Planner notifications, Groups notifications, Teams notifications, mobile notifications, and more depending on the context.

Select + New Plan, enter a Plan name, select Create plan, and then select Members. Or, if your organization allows you to, create a new group: Select + New Plan and Add to an existing Office 365 Group. To work with a team, start with Planner in the browser, the mobile app, or in Teams. You can easily switch between personal or organizational accounts in the Windows or mobile apps and send push notifications to personal friends when you add a task on a personal list. Select a list and then select Share to share the list with a teammate in an organization, or with family or friends using a personal account. In To Do, select My Day, select Today, and select the items you want to add to your My Day list. The task will appear in the Planned list and in Outlook for the web in the My Day pane. In Outlook, select the task, select Remind me, and select an option. In Outlook, select the flag, to have that email show up as a task in the Flagged email list.
