Microsoft launches Planner, a project-management tool, in Office 365

Microsoft launched Office 365 Planner, a new project-management tool for teams.Over the next several weeks, Planner will roll out to all eligible Office 365 customers worldwide. This includes Office 365 Enterprise E1–E5, Business Essentials, Premium and Education subscription plans.

All users with eligible subscription plans will automatically see the Planner tile appear in the Office 365 app launcher when it is available for them to use. Office 365 admins don’t need to take any action.

In short, Planner is all about structuring teamwork. You can set due dates, and use visual dashboards and email notifications.
