Organize your team’s work
Planner provides a shared space where you can build a team, create tasks, and assign them to others on the team. Planner makes it easy for everyone to know who’s doing what and if things are on track. You can update tasks with additional information like due dates, progress, and descriptions, and then further organize tasks with customizable buckets and category labels.

Planner integrates into collaboration experiences across Microsoft 365. In addition to Planner web and mobile clients, users can view and update Planner plans and tasks from within SharePoint and Microsoft Teams.
Planner itself is also powered by the Microsoft Graph and the Microsoft 365 group service. Files that you upload and attach to Planner tasks are stored in SharePoint. Planner comments are based on Outlook group conversations.
