Team Checklist

Hi all,

 

Teams has recently been installed at my workplace and I am hoping it can solve a checklist conundrum we have where we need:

 

- daily checklist of tasks to be completed for entire team

- tasks assigned to different team members on a daily basis

- checklist needs to be collaborative (ie each member ticking off what they have done)

- checklists needs to be audited, therefore each daily checklist needs to be saved in a location for later viewing

 

I am currently testing the potential for Teams to solve this , so far I have setup a channel called Daily Checklists, within channel i have set up a Planner tab called Checklist xx/xx/xx (for specified date). For the next day I hit the '+' button for a new tab and rename it to new current date - it looks great, however I have just come across an issue - any changes to current checklist changes all previous days checklists. Is there a setting I can adjust so this does not happen?

 

Also, if anyone has any other suggestions on how I can better use Teams for checklists I am all ears! 

 

Thanks in advance,

    DMSYD when you are adding the new tab, and choosing Planner, you need to ensure you are creating a new plan - rather than using an existing plan.

      Hi Rob Ellis, thanks for the info - I really appreciate you taking the time to respond.

       

      If I create a new plan does that mean I would have to re-enter/type the entire checklist each time? This could be difficult as there are around 40 daily tasks on the list.

       

      • Yes, it does! But why not use the same plan and called checklist and create buckets for each day with checklist tasks! That way you can copy tasks from day to day
