Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Microsoft Planner to create task boards for your team, assign tasks to individuals, set due dates, and track what's done and what's pending. It lets you organize tasks into buckets, attach files, add checklists within tasks, and see progress through charts. It connects with Microsoft 365 apps like Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint, so tasks show up where your team already works.
