Making Sense of Project Tools in Microsoft 365: Planner, Projects, and the Power of Copilot

Microsoft 365 offers a suite of project and task management tools—but with recent changes, overlapping features, and evolving deprecations, it can be difficult to know which one to rely on. From Planner to Planner Premium (formerly Project for the Web), from legacy Project Online to SharePoint Task Lists, and now the Copilot Project Manager agent, the choices can feel overwhelming.
Join this session for a fast-paced, practical tour of the Microsoft 365 project management ecosystem. You’ll learn:

- Which tools are actively evolving—and which are on the path to retirement
- How Planner, Planner Premium, Project Online, and List-based task tracking differ
- Clear “use this when…” scenarios for personal tasks, team collaboration, structured projects, and enterprise portfolios
- How Copilot enhances planning, reporting, and project automation across the stack

Walk away with a confident understanding of the tools available today—and a simple decision framework to choose the right one for every project, every team, and every level of complexity.
