Microsoft Introduces Tasks by Planner and To Do for Smoother Task Management

In a bid to streamline task management, Microsoft has announced plans to rename its popular task management app from 'Planner' to 'Tasks'. This change is part of the company's efforts to simplify the user experience and provide more flexibility in managing tasks across various platforms. The new name will gradually roll out over time, with Teams desktop users continuing to see the app as Planner for now.

The revamped Tasks app promises to make task management easier for managers and Firstline Workers alike. Managers can easily direct activities within their stores using the app, while Firstline Workers have access to a simple prioritized list on their personal or company-issued mobile devices, showing them exactly what tasks need attention next.

One of the key features of Tasks is its ability to target task lists specifically to relevant locations, such as retail stores. This means that corporate and regional leadership can send task lists to specific locations and track progress in real-time through automatic reports. The app also allows for easy publishing and reporting of tasks, making it an invaluable tool for managers who need to stay on top of multiple projects.

For Firstline Workers and HQ employees, Tasks offers a seamless experience within Microsoft Teams. Users can choose from various views, including lists, boards, charts, and schedules, to find the one that works best for them. The app also includes smart views, such as tasks assigned to individual users, priority levels, start dates, and due dates.

In its blog post announcing the changes, Microsoft highlighted the core features of the new Tasks app, which includes an integrated experience with other services within Microsoft Teams. This means that Planner is now more useful than ever, providing a seamless way to manage tasks across multiple platforms.

The introduction of Tasks by Planner and To Do marks a significant milestone in Microsoft's efforts to improve task management for its users. By providing a more streamlined and flexible experience, the company aims to make it easier for employees to stay on top of their work and collaborate with colleagues more effectively.

In related news, Microsoft has also announced plans to help drive the transition to inclusive online or hybrid learning through its Education platform. The company believes that remote learning tools can build confidence in students and maintain engagement, making education more accessible and effective. With Tasks by Planner and To Do, Microsoft is taking a significant step towards achieving this goal.
