Microsoft 365 includes several features that allow you to efficiently plan, organize, and track your projects. Microsoft Planner is one of the most impressive tools, one that is widely used to improve organization.
On the other hand, SharePoint allows you to create sites and pages, as well as create portals for departments, projects, teams, and more. You can create and use SharePoint pages for all kinds of coordination, data processing, and teamwork requirements.
In this blog, we will discuss how you can work on a Plan in Microsoft Planner from your SharePoint page.
The basic processes in Planner include creating boards, buckets, and arranging tasks or projects. With the help of boards, you can create tasks for each team based on projects or other activities. You can them create assignments to specific users and track progress. Buckets act as columns where you can categorize your tasks by classifying them into various buckets.
To get started with Microsoft Planner, you'll first need to create a Plan. You can also choose to work with any existing Plan. When creating a new Plan, a new Microsoft 365 group will be created in association with the Plan. This makes it easy to collaborate with others in other Microsoft applications such as Outlook, OneDrive, and OneNote.
Your Plan will include multiple display modes like a board or chart. These modules help provide a simplistic overview of the status of various tasks.
SharePoint Planner web parts have one goal: for you to easily work on your Plans directly from your SharePoint Pages. To do so, you first need to connect your Plans with the SharePoint pages. Once you have added the web part to a page and have selected the Plan you wish to connect, you are ready to go.
From this point, you can create new tasks, edit the tasks already created in the Plan, and make changes to your buckets straight from your SharePoint pages. In this way, you can save time by having direct access to your Plans within SharePoint. This is one standout feature of Microsoft 365.
