Planner

...your teamwork planning tool.

Microsoft Planner offers a simple solution to the chaos of collaborative projects. Users are able to create new plans, organize and assign tasks, and discuss with others what they're working on. Planner provides a complete list of your tasks and their status while also allowing users to attach files to tasks and work together on files in real time.

Planner can also be accessed through Office 365 Teams.  A Planner tab can be added to any Team, once the Team has been created.
