Office 365 Tip: Use Planner to collaborate with your team on a project!
A little known, highly useful application included with Office 365 (now Microsoft 365) is Planner. It is great for organizing a team to collaborate on tasks for new projects. You can create tasks with applied checklists, assign them to team members, sync them to a calendar for scheduling, and more. It’s very intuitive and ties conveniently in to the greater Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Here is a quick run-down of the basic use of planner, directly from Microsoft:
Planner works with Microsoft 365 groups. When you select New plan to create a plan in Planner, a new group is created with the same name, unless you select Add to an existing group.
Add a Planner tab in Teams to make it convenient to collaborate with your team on your plan, have conversations, and share files all in one place.
To see all tasks assigned to you across all plans, select My tasks in the left pane.
Or, in Microsoft To-Do, turn on Assigned to Me.

Dylan has been such a help to our company. He never makes you feel bad about asking for help (I am NOT tech savvy and have surely asked some stupid questions!). Our issues have all been resolved quickly and the billing was extremely fair. I highly recommend Conduit's services.
