Planner E-Learning Course

This course provides knowledge on using Microsoft Planner.

Microsoft Planner allows you to organise to-dos and project tasks in clear plans. You can assign tasks within the project team, add files and links and trace the progress of tasks based on their status. You can use a variety of view, grouping and filter functions to give you and your team an overview of their current status. Microsoft Planner works together with other Office applications (e.g. Microsoft Teams, OneNote and Outlook) so that you can access and exchange information quickly and easily.
