summary for non-techies**
Microsoft has introduced a new feature in its Purview compliance portal that allows compliance administrators to manage the lifecycle of data within Microsoft Planner by setting retention policies for tasks and plans, ensuring they are retained as necessary and automatically deleted when no longer needed, aiding in compliance with legal or regulatory requirements.
Direct effects for Operations**
Data Loss Risk
Without proper preparation, applying a retention policy may lead to unintended data loss if users are not informed about the changes, resulting in the deletion of important Planner tasks.
