Microsoft Planner and Project Plan 3

Description

Microsoft Planner and Project Plan 3 is an advanced project and work-management solution for teams that need structured planning, intelligent scheduling, resource coordination, and richer project visibility.

• Create and manage tasks, assignments, schedules, goals, milestones, and project plans in a unified Planner experience.
• Use advanced task dependencies with lead and lag, critical path analysis, task history, custom fields, custom calendars, and Timeline (Gantt) views.
• Manage workloads through people views, resource requests, capacity planning, and resource-management capabilities.
• Track delivery with reports, project goals, premium templates, backlogs, sprints, and progress views.
• Coordinate projects, programmes, and demand-management processes across teams and initiatives.
• Work with Microsoft Teams and other Microsoft 365 applications to collaborate on plans, files, meetings, and updates.
• Use Copilot in Planner where available to help generate plans, goals, tasks, and status insights from natural-language prompts.

Planner and Project Plan 3 is designed for organisations managing complex projects that require more advanced scheduling, resource, and portfolio-level controls than basic task management.
