This video really helped me understand Microsoft Planner better. By the way, I recently started using the Astirna New Tab extension, and it's been great for keeping my tasks organized alongside Planner.
People hitting the Dislike button must have dyslexia and thought they were hitting Like. I have been providing training and consulting to the Fortune 50, including Microsoft, for 25+ years and Leila's content and presentations are exceptional. When someone tells you for what uses a software application is not appropriate, they are not just detailing features but also have a good understanding of the overall business need as well as other applications which fulfill that need. It is nice to see someone so talented doing so well.
Wow! That was easily the best overview I've seen. Outstanding! As a follow-up video idea ... "Real Plans in Planner", a collection of how different people use it. It is so flexible and, as they say, there are many ways to skin a cat.
When adding plans to Teams you are only able to do this if you created the plan based on that Team Group. If you don't so this then you can't use the embedded app, but...you can add it to a Team using the website app/tab in your Teams channel. Fun tool. Great overview!
I appreciate the detailed explanations in this video. I use Microsoft Planner for work and the Astirna New Tab extension for personal organization, and they complement each other well.
What do I say? I have recently migrated to MS Teams and your videos are just-in-time for me to help with transition! Your 3D approach - Describe, Demonstrate, Deliver is unmatched and makes every technical topic a cakewalk! Bravo! 😊👍
Thanks Leila!! Awesome tool to know. We use 365 at my job, and I will start using this this week. I work for a non profit so your trainings and expertise i find so valuable to me. Thanks again to you and your team. Enjoy your day.
Leila you're the best , I have never seen someone thatb explains so well in my life , it's actually hard not to understand you. Hoping to do morer training with your videos
Hi Leila, brilliant tutorial thank you. I use planner often for my work and I'm encouraging use for the board of my charity organisation. You've added to my skill level and I'm happy to share. Subscribed!
Thankyou for sharing this information on Planner. I work for a not-for-profit organization in Australia and we moved over to O365 and MS Teams just around 18 months ago. Many of my colleagues use Planner but not in the most efficient way and definitely not taking advantage of all its features that you have so clearly explained! I will be sharing this video with them soon! Thanks again for such brilliant content Leila! Cheers from David in Australia. 👍😉🙌
Thank you. I was discussing how to keep control of a suite of training videos we are currently preparing. You just showed me exactly how to do it. The ability to link to live documents and other files was a critical element of our discussion.
Hi Leila - Great video - I am just getting into Planner, Lists, To do, Teams - great video along with all your others. I am really getting to understand which app to use now, keep up the good work.
Thank you for this excellent video! At my workplace, we just started to use Planner today. I'm so happy that I could start studying with you right away. :)
@leilaGharani thank you for such a great video. It was just the right amount of information for anyone. I especially liked the section on what is NOT for. This was the most important part of the video for me as this is exactly I spend a lot of time trying to figure out.
Hello Leila, I guess I am late to the party, but this is my first intro to Planner, and I am so excited about this I will be setting up Planner and new tasks as soon as I get to work tomorrow. Thank you so much for your sessions they are amazing.
Excellent video/education. I have used Project for many years and I think it is one of the best management tools available. I will give Planner a try, but I think Project will still be my favorite. I appreciate all of your videos and view them even if I'm not interested in the topic because you always do such a great job explaining them. Thank you.
I´ve been watching your videos for a while now and they are great. Would you recommend using MS Planner as a production schedule tool? I need a tool to see what´s coming to the production floor and what is correctly being manufactured.
@@LeilaGharani X can assign task to Y and after completion of task Y will update the same and X will get notification. Can Y assign the task to Z ??? For example one lead (X)assigns the task to designer then Designer (Y) completed the task and assign the same to reviewer (Z) . After reviewing task is completed reviewer will update in task planner.
Fantastic!--not only are your videos introductory and give an overview, they also go into a details which really helps. Thanks Leila. Can you please plan to do videos on Planner-->PowerAutomate/Flow-->PowerBI? (I think the route might be Planner-->Flow-->SharePoint/Excel-->PowerBI?) The videos on this topic are just too complicated to follow and the easy ones I saw were in Spanish! (so hard to follow!) My team is using these tools....and I am encouraging the use the of PowerAutomate into PowerBI. Please provide an update if this is a topic of interest for you and your team to make a video on! will be eagerly looking forward!
Thank you ! Your videos are now my ‘go to’ for anything I need to learn more on Microsoft. Your way of explaining and articulation is so straightforward, logical and educational, good pace and easy to understand ! Amazing!
Hello Mam, I built a small Excel utility few months back since Planner charts were insufficient. I use to export planner to Excel, read it using Power Query utility and build two dashboards. Project dashboard and individual dashboard. This helped me to track all the tasks for a long timeline. Using it for past 9 months. Also, whenever I do a new export, just use to repoint PQ source file. That’s it. My dashboard gets refreshed 😊 Thanks for educating us
Wow Leila, you are awesome, very simple way of explanation. Excellent, this is very useful content. Thank you, do you have video for Ms project as well
This video was so good! I wiil implement that idea in my working days! Thanks Leila! I'm not on purpose clicked in dislike, but fortunatelly a managed to correct :D
If this were integrated with Outlook to allow you to link tasks to emails, that would be a game-changer for me. Everything in my job revolves around email.
i think the idea is to avoid using reminder in outlook , otherwise you can find all the notifications sent in the Group on which the channel is created in teams , after each comments or task
Hi Leila, wow really awesome training one quick question: Does Microsoft planner have a Gantt chart? If not, is there some workaround to generate a Gantt chart? Note: Our company doesn't want to use MS Project because we don't have any complex projects neither dependencies between tasks. Also, we want to work in a Canvas using the Agile approach.
Hello Leila ! I would like to mention that you channel is helping me a lot ! Thank you ! Please, I need another tip related to planner...Is it possible to embed a plan from planner inside Powerpoint ? This feature will be impressive, since we can present real and online data in meetings. Looking forward to hear form you !
Another amazing video Leila, thanks for that. Just wondering if would be possible to set to receive reminders on outlook before the task due date? Thanks
Good training. Quick question: Why is not possible to create planner inside channels? I have a Teams site with 2 Channels (Crew A and Crew B). I would like to create a planner for Crew A and Crew B cannot see and vice-versa. But planner only goes to General. Is that possible to do? Thanks in advance.
Just randomly clicked on your video, and you're image quality and composition is great! But I really wanted to click the video away because of the sound. You can clearly hear the sound your mouth makes (those high pitch saliva noises). Try to put a windsock over your mic to filter them out! Hope I could help 😊
Thanks for the continued amazing content, Leila. At 10:15 you mention that an email will be sent to notify of assigned tasks. Since we're working to manage our projects in Teams, a Teams notification would be much more appropriate. I want to move away from email. Is there a way to set the notifications up so they remain in Teams? Thanks as always.
@@LeilaGharani hi Leila, i have question would you be able to show how to extract sheet from excel workbook and save it using VBA. I have this repeated task every week where i have to update workbook and extract few sheets i feel this can be automated. Thanks :)

Wow so cool... But what if the Assignee removes the task??? How can I prevent that?
Is there a timeline view of the tasks/status/etc.
Do not call it free when you ask for my email address to get it...

I use Planner with Outlook but I created a MS Flow (aka Power Automated) to create the trigger for linking my task to an email.
I feel some of the apps can be consolidated. It all seems overwhelming.
