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.

- Brent EllisSilver ContributorSimple answer right now, Planner = Group Tool, To-Do = Individual personal tool

I've generally found that teams are more effective when the tasks an individual takes on in their project work are easily referred to in their personal task list. Having to check more than one place for priority tasks (and for maintaining progress updates) lowers productivity.
- Magnus RamfeltIron ContributorYeah agree. But Planner is nowhere close to doing what we want (well it's pretty close but our trial users thought it missed a couple of key features) so if you can just convert an email to a To-Do, share that To-Do and have importable templates, I think To-Dos will do ☺
