Microsoft Teams: How to Create To-Do Lists

Microsoft Teams: How to Create To-Do Lists

January 4, 2021 by Madalina Dinita Leave a Comment

To-do lists are excellent productivity tools. They’re straightforward and easy to keep track of. You basically create a list of all the tasks that you or your team need to complete, set the deadline, add some important notes, and you’re done. Once you’ve completed a task, you can simply strike it through.

Creating to-do lists in Microsoft Teams is not that straightforward and simple, especially if you’re a new user. In this guide, we’ll show you two different ways you can create to-do lists within Teams.

How to Create To-Do Lists in Microsoft Teams

Use Tasks

Tasks is a task management app you can use to create and manage both individual and team tasks. You can use Tasks on desktop, web, and mobile. The app lets you filter your tasks so that you can better prioritize your work.

Here’s what you can do with Tasks:

  • Publish tasks and track progress with real-time reports.
  • Assign tasks to specific users.
  • Divide tasks by individual tasks (My tasks) tasks.
  • Work on common team tasks (Shared plans).

To install Tasks, click on Apps. Then type ‘Tasks‘ into the search bar. Hit the Add button to install the app.
