Summary:
The new Microsoft Planner for the web integrates features from Microsoft To Do, Planner, Project, and Copilot for a comprehensive task management solution. Rollout begins early October 2024, with full availability by late January 2025. Some features will be unavailable at launch but will return by early 2025. A Microsoft 365 license is required.
Details:
The new Microsoft Planner for the web (https://planner.cloud.microsoft) brings together the simplicity of Microsoft To Do, the collaboration of Planner, the power of Microsoft Project, and the intelligence of Copilot for Microsoft 365 into a simple, scalable solution that spans individual task management to professional project management.
With this rollout, we will update the existing web version of Planner to the new Planner. The new Planner for the web will match Planner in Teams to enable your users to seamlessly switch between Teams and web.
A Microsoft 365 license is required to use the new Planner. While final pricing for Copilot in Planner (preview) has not been announced, if you have a Project Plan 3 license, Project Plan 5 license, or a premium Planner trial license, you can preview Copilot in Planner capabilities.
