The user of Planner can also import their tasks from the currently used software [12] (such as Asana, Trello, Jira, Todoist, or Wrike) via the available support.

Besides task management and collaboration, the tool enables percent-complete tracking, milestone tracking, status tracking, project planning, file sharing, workflow management, idea management, resource management and many more. [1] [2]
