In Microsoft Planner, an efficient way to manage a plan is to divide it up into tasks. In this course, learn how to create and work with tasks, for example, to assign them to one or more members of your team. You will also discover how to add more details to your tasks, like due dates, priority, progress, or labels. These details are useful to get an overall view of your plan. For instance, to display the progress of your plan, learn how to use the Charts view. If you prefer to display your scheduled and unscheduled tasks, then switch to the Schedule view. Lastly, see how to organize and filter your tasks by adding customized labels. You will also learn how to copy, move, and delete tasks.
