Since the Ignite announcement, the company made some additions to the feature: “Ultimately, our goal is to bring your tasks to Tasks in Teams no matter where you first create them,” Microsoft said in a blog.

Tasks in Teams brings together Microsoft Planner and Microsoft To Do, giving users one place to manage team plans and individual tasks, according to Microsoft.Īccording to Microsoft, Tasks in Teams comes as an app that shows both Planner and To Do tasks, and as a tab added to individual Teams channels that only shows Planner tasks.
