Both Planner (aka Tasks in Teams) and Microsoft To Do are available in the same channel and changes made there are synched across all instances of those individual services. That is why Microsoft Teams seems to be the best spot for enterprises to begin building out their own task structure and connectivity. Right now, though, the best implementation of this fully integrated future vision is in Microsoft Teams. Microsoft’s introduction of Tasks in Teams illustrates this goal to bring all tasks, both individual and team items, into full integration across the entire Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Creating, sharing, assigning, and managing the tasks that allow projects to reach their completion is even more important to the enterprise now that so much work has moved to cloud-based, collaborative environments. One of the smarter moves Microsoft has made recently is to collapse its To Do app (based off its Wunderlist buy) and its Planner app (intended for team projects) into one central app, Tasks, which is now available everywhere across the Microsoft 365 framework.Įventually, the ability of enterprise users to have one single pane of glass collecting both individual and collaborative tasks will elevate this aspect of Microsoft 365 to a critical piece of productivity infrastructure.
