How to use Microsoft Planner

Videos called out in this video:

As full-disclosure, I work at Microsoft as a full-time employee.

Great video. I love how all of these applications link together. One thing I would like to see in Planner is a dependency relationship where completion of one task triggers a notification to the owner of next task in line.

I love the way Kevin's calm and pleasant voice explains these videos - he's definitely the best tutor / tutorials I've seen. Keep up the great work Kevin :)

As of May 4 2021 this is now a purple icon in Teams and it's named "Tasks by Planner and To Do".

I submitted a proposal to job that I have no idea what I am getting into lol. I've worked as an Office 365 support back in 2018-19 and I think your videos can really help get up to speed.

I just subscribed to your channel and I hope that you upload more videos related to Office 365.

Thank you very much! Didn’t know this existed & I’m a post it person. This is going to change my life, and your video is the cliffs notes. I’m exhausted in bed, it’s late and this actually inspires me to want to get up and set it up! TY TY TY!!

Great video Kevin! Planner is a great tool, and I enjoy working with it. Would love the ability to see who completed subtasks when multiple people are assigned to a single task (something like the person's profile with time/date stamp). Would love the ability to use the @ symbol to message someone specifically when multiple people are assigned to a task. This would eliminate other team members from being emailed on correspondence about the task that do not directly require their attention. They can always review the dialog from the task board but not be bothered with emails. Hope Microsoft will consider this. Looking forward to more useful features within Planner. Thanks!

This was exactly what i needed! I've used both applications, but didn't know how to link the 2. Quick and easy tutorial. Great work!

This presentation was very helpful. And the presenter has a good voice for training.

My school is using Microsoft through and through. Your videos really helped me to start the Microsoft ecosystem. Thank you!

Nice. Thanks! Didn't know this existed even though we've been on teams for a while now.

Kevin, are you looking over my shoulder? Just yesterday I needed to make a table of contents in Word and just like that there you were with a solution. Right now I'm looking into Planner, and look, there you are. You are creeping me out lol :-). Great content and presentation as ever. Thank you.

[HonoraryAsian]

Thank you! Nice instruction and easy to follow. Someone just told me about MS Planner and after seeing the video, I am really excited to use it.

[BKTX]

Such a great tutorial. We are trying to implement a business process with multiple phases and tasks underneath each. Thank you, Kevin.

In Teams the Planner icon is now a purple checklist icon... this drove me mad when I was clicking the very similar icon, the Projects icon and after two days of this... eureka!!!! I can read. Great video by the way.

[Bertha_CIOL]

Thank you for this very helpful tutorial, Kevin! MS Planner is now my new best friend!

[twentyfivenhot]

this is exactly what my team needs. Great video.
