Microsoft Planner, is a project management platform within the Microsoft 365 applications and add-ins that enables users to create and manage plans and tasks on various ad-hoc projects. The tasks are arranged in a set of columns forming a visual board for a given project.
New plans can only be created in Microsoft Teams. Each Team may have multiple plans.
Once created, plans can be viewed in the Planner Hub via the Microsoft 365 waffle (see image below) however any collaboration to the plan such as assigning tasks, sharing files, chats, and progress updates can only be performed in the Team.
