This Microsoft Planner course will help you get you up and running quickly with Microsoft Planner. Think of it as a Planner fundamentals and essentials crash course for the workplace.
As part of the Office 365 suite of applications, Microsoft Planner is one of the most important and widely used Microsoft productivity apps in businesses around the world. It is also intuitive, easy to use and modern.
At the workplace, I use Microsoft Planner on a daily basis, multiple times a day every single day. And that's not a coincidence. Planner is a great tool for managing projects, tasks and people.
Microsoft Planner allows you to plan tasks, control and coordinate jobs, communicate, collaborate, share files, work on files concurrently, make business decisions, solve business problems, manage your projects and more, a lot more.
The sky is the limit when it comes to Microsoft Planner. It's just that powerful, trust me. But beyond that, allow me to show you why it's so powerful and fun to use. And why so many businesses and people use it.

Very insightful. I listened to it on a higher speed as the course instructure speaks rather slow. But, the information provided during the course was very insightful. This is a perfect crash course.

fully detailed information about the product and structure on how to successfully integrate this product's many usages in a workflow environment.

So far the format of the information has been very basic. was expecting a more upscale video. This could just be the way videos are offered on Udemy. This is my first Udemy class

Microsoft planner is good tool to use for planning and managing Agile projects. Thank you for imparting the knowledge.
By Liliya Bednarz on 1/10/2023
The main functionalities are well explained. The real example is really appreciated. The beginning with Microsoft Whiteboard is too long and a bit boring, a lot of repetitive information. The course could be shorter with the same level of knowledge provided
By Glenn Brangman on 4/26/2020
This course on Microsoft Planner in presented in such a way, that it is very easy to understand, and follow the instructor.
By Gary Ralph Griffin on 4/5/2020
An excellent course! It concisely shows the parallels between Jira and Microsoft Planner, as well as shows how to work with Planner in detail. Thank you, Mauricio and Udemy!
By Julian Rodriguez on 3/28/2020
Limited content, limited views, limited examples. It could have been done in 15-20 minutes. Painful to make it to the end. Too many words to say nothing and too much rambling. Sorry Mauricio, if you are serious about education, then raise the bar otherwise try to make a living in social media instead.
By Yiqi Yang on 3/23/2020
A very good introductory course with lots of tips for resources that one can explore after this. It would be better if the instructor can touch a bit more on charts (only a quick flash shown in the course) and schedule (not covered at all). I would like to have them covered because I do not have access to Planner yet and would like to see all features now. It is absolutely okay as the course is now - it is free! Will explore further in Planner Help Center, as the instructor suggested. Thank you, Mauricio!

Very basic introduction to Planner. Delivery is rambling at times. And LOTS of repetition of basic, common sense items. Could probably be condensed into 30 minutes, instead of 1.5 hours.
