Planner vs To-Do
Microsoft just released To-Do, a task app that will eventually replace Wunderlist. When should we use Planner and when should we use To-Do? Thanks for the help.

Simple answer right now, Planner = Group Tool, To-Do = Individual personal tool

Totally agree...Planner is for managing tasks of a Group of people and To-DO is for managing personal tasks

While Planner = Group; To-Do = Personal. Believe it or not, Group planning involves people, and their contribution to the group becomes a personal task. Which I'd like to have show up in Outlook Tasks and my To-Do app.

We solved it by each having a personal Planner-plan. That way everything collates in your Planner-hub.
Do you see any drawbacks with such a way-of-working?- Rich HearnApr 21, 2018Copper Contributor
How does that solve the actions that you need to track against emails and in your personal calendar in Outlook?
Tasks created in OneNote go to Outlook and not To-Do? So Planner is great, but will be better when linked to Outlook/ToDo tasks for personal task tracking too.
