About this tag
Microsoft Planner is a task management and lightweight project planning tool within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, deeply integrated with Teams and other productivity apps. Recent discussions cover the general availability of Planner Agent, a Copilot-powered feature that uses natural language to create, assign, and track tasks across Microsoft 365, rolling out in mid-to-late 2026 for Copilot license holders. Other updates include the removal of iCalendar feed support in early 2026, new AI-driven Status Reports for automated project updates, and enhancements like templates and deeper integration. Troubleshooting topics address missing delete buttons and differences between Planner and Microsoft To-Do. Governance solutions from partners like Orchestry also touch on Planner management.
