What is Teams?

Teams is a communication and collaboration hub that brings together Office 365 applications and third-party tools into one space, making it easy for a group of people to work together in real-time around a topic or project. Teams includes chat, audio and video conversation and collaboration, file sharing, the ability to host virtual meetings, and more. Please visit the Teams IT Knowledge Base article for information.

What is Planner?

Planner is a lightweight project management application that allows you and your group to create a plan, organize tasks by topics, and assign tasks to individuals. Planner also integrates with Teams. Please visit the Planner IT Knowledge Base article for information.
