## Description

Microsoft Planner provides a visual, plan-first approach to teamwork within Office 365. Create plans, organize tasks into buckets, assign owners, drag and drop to update status, attach files, and discuss progress directly inside each plan. The My Tasks view shows all assignments across plans so your team stays aligned.

Note: Planner requires an eligible Office 365 work or school subscription. It keeps conversations, deliverables, and attachments tied to the plan and works across devices for real-time collaboration, ensuring everyone stays on the same page.
