my role is to ensure regular,

00:00:08

concise and effective follow up with my client

00:00:11

regarding the organization of a digital fair.

00:00:13

This follow up is based on a structured plan in Microsoft Planner,

00:00:17

a planning tool that provides a clear and visual framework for project management.

00:00:22

In this process,

00:00:23

I use Planner,

00:00:24

OneNote,

00:00:24

and co-pilot chat to produce an optimized summary to be shared via Teams or email.

00:00:30

I begin by asking co-pilot for a project

00:00:32

progress update based on the existing planning planner.

00:00:35

Co-pilot immediately generates a summary including general context,

00:00:39

objectives,

00:00:40

key steps,

00:00:41

upcoming actions,

00:00:43

risks,

00:00:43

and available resources.

00:00:45

I use this content as a foundation for building my progress report.

00:00:49

To centralize the information,

00:00:51

I copy and paste the content generated by co-pilot into a one-note notebook.

00:00:56

Next,

00:00:56

I ask my AI assistant

00:00:58

to identify the priority tasks to be completed by the end of December.

00:01:02

Again,

00:01:02

co-pilot helps me synthesize the data.

00:01:05

I repeat the same steps for overdue and

00:01:07

completed tasks to ensure a comprehensive follow-up.

00:01:10

Before moving on,

00:01:11

I also ask co-pilot to list the next steps in bullet point format.

00:01:15

I collect all this content in one note.

00:01:17

For now,

00:01:18

the responses are simply pasted in,

00:01:20

so I'll need to create a clean and usable summary.

00:01:23

By right clicking on the page,

00:01:24

I can request a rewrite of the content

00:01:27

generating a synthesized paragraph for my notes.

00:01:31

Next,

00:01:31

I switched to co-pilot chat.

00:01:33

I paste the summary paragraph and then clearly

00:01:36

specify the desired structure for two versions.

00:01:40

One to be posted on Teams and another for an email.

00:01:44

I include details such as the expected tone,

00:01:47

professional,

00:01:48

key points to highlight,

00:01:49

and formatting preferences.

00:01:51

Thanks to the clarity of my request,

00:01:53

co-pilot provides a highly relevant draft right away.

00:01:57

After a quick review,

00:01:58

I'm able to post the update in Teams as an announcement in the Project Teams channel,

00:02:02

for example,

00:02:03

or copy the concise version to send via Outlook.

00:02:07

Although this method involves several manual steps,

00:02:10

it allows me to produce a clear and professional project update in minimal time

00:02:14

with high added value.
