The work scheduler from Microsoft

And to coordinate and manage the tasks with the different Office tools, Microsoft has just launched the mobile version of Microsoft Planner, the app for iPhone and Android with which you can control and organize all your teamwork: assign tasks , share files, chat and exchange messages, follow developments...

It's a tool designed exclusively for Office 365, the online office suite. Its main features and functions are the following:

• Organize your work visually with different panels for each plan and where you can organize tasks into buckets. These tasks can be sorted by their status or the user assigned to them.
• My Tasks provides a complete overview of all tasks and the status of plans. Users always know what other team members are working on.
• Thanks to the integration with Office 365 (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Access...), each conversation is about the task in question without having to switch between applications.
• Planner syncs across all your devices.

With this application, Microsoft intends to improve integration and simplify the workflow between its own applications.
