  • @user-om9hj3pl7w
    Thanks for the great video! Do you have any tips/recommendations on 'archiving' tasks and plans? When a task is complete, do you normally have a "finished/completed tasks" bucket at the end? What about when a Plan (being used for a specific project) is complete? On that note, I have one more question (so sorry!) - do you recommend using one plan per project, like "Quarterly Report, Q3 2024" or does it work (similar to Trello) to have a Plan for multiple projects, like "Special Events" where you have a handful of projects living simultaneously in one Plan?
  • Hello Scott! thanks for the video. is there a possibility for project manager to look and track task loading for each team member, but not only inside 1 plan but overall through all plans? to see and know to whom you can assign a new task. thanks in advance!
  • Really good set of videos on Planner. Thank you. However in my org I don't have the option to create just a private plan. Is that a setting in 365 Admin preventing that from being an option? TIA. Mike.
  • Thanks. This was mostly about standard & basic Planner functionality. What about New Planner , which would be integrated with Project or it least Project features like Gantt charts and tasks interdependencies?
  • How does this sync up with MS Projects? Is there any integration directly so you start in MS projects and can sync it over to the Planner?
  • @Hebininja
    Is there anyway to see tasks from different projects and resources in a single view, to have a full scope of the agency activity?
  • @Bjoern_9
    What is your suggestion to organize the overview of the assigned to others (deligated) tasks?
  • @forfnva
    Thank you for your informative videos. May I ask what would the difference be in features of 365 on an I Mac?
  • Thanks for the video, really useful as I am looking into posssible solutions for our new team to use. Is there a way to export the Charts and Calendar views into excel / pdf? Thanks in advance
  • I want to see what items and tasks that has been completed in the last week, do you have a video on that? :)
  • I have a large team with their own projects, can I use planner to keep an eye on their progress or is it not designed for that?
  • Hi, Thanks for a useful video. Do you know if I can add more dates to a task in Planner? Many thanks in advance.
