Is there a Microsoft app that can help me manage a group project?

Answer

Microsoft Planner: A tool for managing deadlines and responsibilities for group projects

____________________________

 

Microsoft Planner is a teamwork tool that helps you and your classmates stay organised on group projects. You can access MS Planner by logging into your Microsoft 365 account, using your Arden student email and password, and then finding it under 'Apps' on the left-hand menu.

You can create shared plans, assign tasks to different people, set deadlines, and track progress in different views such as boards, calendars, or charts.

 

Everyone can see what they’re responsible for, deadlines are visible to the whole group, and tasks assigned to you in MS Planner also appear in your MS To Do app under ‘Assigned to Me’.
