Explore the newest updates in Planner, aimed at making your work management even more effective. This month, we share key updates on retiring Project for the web, expanding language support for Project Manager, and bringing Board view front and center across My Day and My Tasks.

My Day and My Tasks now default to Board view 

We’re rolling out a smoother planning experience—now, when you open My Day or My Tasks, you’ll see your work organized in Board view by default instead of Grid view. This update makes it easier to visually arrange, prioritize, and track your tasks, helping you stay focused and productive at a glance. 

Status reports now available in 40+ languages 

Last month, we shared that status reports were available in public preview. With this update, you can now generate status reports in any language that is also available for Microsoft 365 Copilot. See the full list of supported languages for Microsoft 365 Copilot.  

Project for the web retirement next month 

Starting August 1st, 2025, we will be transitioning all users to Microsoft Planner. To provide a unified work management experience, we are retiring Project for the web, as well as the Project and Roadmap apps in Microsoft Teams. As part of this change, users are now able to view and manage non-default environment plans in Planner, and tenants with only Project licenses are able to access basic in addition to premium plan functionality in Planner. No action is necessary in preparation for this change as all licensing should carry over seamlessly. Learn more about this change in our announcement blog post.
