through creating a Microsoft Planner task

00:00:09

and then updating and refining it as it progresses over time.

00:00:14

Start by clicking on a task,

00:00:17

entering a clear title such as

00:00:19

prepare marketing launch kit

00:00:22

and confirming right away

00:00:24

without setting a due date or assignment yet.

00:00:27

The card will immediately appear in the bucket you had selected.

00:00:33

Then open the card to access his detail panel.

00:00:36

You can rename the task if necessary

00:00:39

and assign it to the relevant person.

00:00:42

As soon as you assign it to yourself,

00:00:44

it will automatically appear in the my task section of your workspace.

00:00:51

You can also apply one or more labels.

00:00:54

Each color can be renamed to match your team's terminology,

00:00:58

so a simple color code is enough to filter the board.

00:01:02

Multiple labels can be applied to the

00:01:04

same card to reflect different sorting criteria.

00:01:09

Now indicate the progress status

00:01:12

not started in progress or completed

00:01:15

in our example,

00:01:16

select in progress

00:01:18

also set the default priority level to medium

00:01:22

with the option to change to urgent,

00:01:24

important,

00:01:25

or low

00:01:26

according to your requirements.

00:01:29

Set a start date and a due date,

00:01:32

then open the repeat menu.

00:01:35

To create a recurrence,

00:01:37

choose the custom mode to schedule the task every Friday.

00:01:43

The summary occurs every week on Friday,

00:01:46

will confirm that the frequency has been saved correctly.

00:01:50

Click on save to validate.

00:01:55

In the note field,

00:01:56

write the essential instructions or the specifications.

00:02:00

If you activate the show on card option,

00:02:02

the first sentence will be visible at a glance on the board,

00:02:06

avoiding the need to open the card to reread the information.

00:02:11

Then add a checklist to break down the work.

00:02:14

In our example,

00:02:15

4 subtasks are enough.

00:02:18

As soon as an item is completed,

00:02:20

check it off.

00:02:22

Planner will instantly update the counter,

00:02:25

such as

00:02:25

3/4.

00:02:29

To centralize the documentation,

00:02:32

finally insert an attachment.

00:02:35

Planner does not upload local files but accepts a OneDrive or SharePoint link

00:02:40

accompanied by display text such as product description.

00:02:46

The options show on card displays the tile directly on the board.

00:02:51

Once all updates are made,

00:02:53

close the panel.

00:02:55

The card immediately reflects the entered information.

00:03:00

Be aware that the same operation can be performed in grid mode.

00:03:05

A simple click on at a task opens inline fields that allow you to set the assignment

00:03:11

dates,

00:03:12

progress,

00:03:13

or labels without going through the detailed panel.

00:03:17

If needed,

00:03:18

the quick preview option provides a floating window similar to the board mode.

00:03:24

You now know how to create a task,

00:03:27

configure it,

00:03:28

and update it comprehensively.

00:03:31

The next step will be to optimize the organization and visualization of your plans

00:03:37

for even more effective tracking.
