The new Microsoft Planner for the web (https://planner.cloud.microsoft) brings together the simplicity of Microsoft To Do, the collaboration of Planner, the power of Microsoft Project, and the intelligence of Copilot for Microsoft 365 into a simple, scalable solution that spans individual task management to professional project management. With this rollout, we will update the existing web version of Planner to the new Planner. The new Planner for the web will match Planner in Teams to enable your users to seamlessly switch between Teams and web. A Microsoft 365 license is required to use the new Planner. While final pricing for Copilot in Planner (preview) has not been announced, if you have a Project Plan 3 license, Project Plan 5 license, or a premium Planner trial license, you can preview Copilot in Planner capabilities.

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-October 2024 and expect to complete by late November 2024. General Availability (GCC): We will begin rolling out late November 2024 and expect to complete by late January 2025. How this will affect your organization:The following features will not be available at launch but will be available by early 2025:
As part of our efforts to simplify Planner, these existing features are not available in the new Planner due to low usage:
Planner will also now support Targeted release. For organizations that opt in to Targeted release, your organization will be the first to see the latest Planner updates and can help shape the product by providing early feedback. Planner does not support individuals opted into Targeted release. Lastly, after the new Planner for the web is rolled out, users can still access Project for the web. For this rollout, we will merge notification settings in the new Planner and Project for the web. Users will see identical notification options in the two apps, and the settings they choose will be reflected across both apps. Until a user reviews their notification settings, we will maintain what the user had set before the notifications are merged. The new Planner for the web: What you need to do to prepare:
