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. You will find it by clicking on the App Launcher menu (nine dots) and then searching 'More Apps.'
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’.
Does this sound like something that could benefit you? Watch this short video that explains how to use MS Planner in more detail.
