There's a roadmap they have to complete so this is not all available today but there is a path to having all these elements interconnected with Yammer as the discussion tool.
Currently there is no connection between tasks generated by Planner and Outlook Tasks...Task generated by Planner ar Tasks Teams while Outlook Tasks are personal tasks...by the way, Microsoft is not currently providing any integration in this area and what you can expect is that third parties create (there are some already) Outlook Add-ins that allow you to work with Planner from Outlook. In regards of Planner and Yammer integration, this is something is not going to happen directly...what you will see is that when you create a Yammer Group, an Office 365 Group would be created behind the scenes so you will have the opportuity to have a plan for your Yammer Group. This is something Microsoft is currently working on and it will come in the coming months
