Share tasks from Microsoft Project with your team in Microsoft Planner

Written by Renke Holert | December 03, 2024

If your are working as a project manager  with the Microsoft Project Desktop App (MS Project) and your team is using Microsoft Planner it can be tedious to keep the data in sync. With Holert Project2Planner you can simplify integrate both Apps.

Challenges when working without any integration between MS Project and Planner

If you are a project manager working with the Microsoft Project Desktop App (MS Project) and your team is using Microsoft Planner it is 

  • troublesome to share only the relevant tasks with each team member,
  • tracking progress is time-consuming and error-prone,
  • effortful to bundle communication on a task in one place,
  • annoying when mistakes happen because checklists are not used.

Integrate Microsoft Project with Microsoft Planner with Project2Planner 

However, if your company uses Microsoft 365 including Microsoft Planner, which is included at no extra cost, you can use the Project2Planner add-in from Holert to create tasks from MS Project directly in Microsoft Planner.

After that it synchronize your Microsoft Project Gantt Chart directly with your team's Microsoft Planner plan.

When a team member reports a task as completed,

and you approved the update it will automatically show the progress in your Microsoft project schedule

and the project manager can view the full details of the task with a click of the mouse.

Allocatus optionally automatically creates project rooms in Microsoft Teams including Gantt or adds the MS Project Chart to your existing Teams provisioning solution. Project Online is not required.
