Frank De Merie from the Microsoft Store Training Team will deliver a deep dive on Microsoft Planner. Planner is a to-do app that comes with Office 365. It impacts your workflows by allowing you to get organized quickly with a simple card-based interface and is easy to use with your teamwork planning. It allows you and your team to Work together with visibility and transparency, collaborate around tasks and work across devices effortlessly. Built for Office 365, Planner lets you attach files to tasks, work together on those files, and even have conversations around tasks without switching between apps. With Planner, all your team's discussions and deliverables stay with the plan and don't get locked away across disparate applications.
