I extensively documented the significant differences between the Task List and Planner here. Unlike the task list above, Planner was a much more visual, light-weight task management solution, suitable mostly for agile/informal projects. The option that was like a breath of fresh air was when Planner became available in Office 365. While it may be considered old-fashioned compared to other options we now have, it is still a viable option as it allows you to create own metadata, send emails to those Assigned to the task as well as integrate with MS Project. I provided an overview of its features and capabilities here. The first option is to use the good-old Tasks Web Part in SharePoint. With this article, I would like to revisit the topic and summarize all the available task management options in SharePoint and Office 365 in a single article. I have written a number of posts lately on various tools that we have now in Office 365. Tasks for temporary project teams we are part of, tasks for departments and business units, personal tasks. While, for the most part, we use SharePoint and Office 365 to store documents, the second most important function of our daily routine is to track and complete tasks. Hey, after all, to get things done, we need to complete tasks. Everything is a project! This is my main motto in life.
