Microsoft Teams

Managing your tasks in Microsoft 365 has gotten more complicated thanks to the introduction of two more apps that can do tasks. So let's answer the question once and for all: when's the right time to use To Do versus Lists versus Planner versus Tasks in Teams?

It *can* be easy(-ish)... but only if you let it.

Note: Microsoft reported 50% rollout of Microsoft Lists to *targeted release* users on Aug 21 and an estimated completion by end of August (source: https://jum.to/3hwwU8a). Rollout to all other users will commence thereafter with estimated completion by end of September. If you don't see Lists in your Office 365 app launcher, follow these steps: https://jum.to/MicrosoftLists
