Planner's Board view organizes tasks into Buckets (Planner's specific term for board columns, like "To Do," "In Progress," "Done"), with each task supporting checklists, attachments, comments, and a priority flag for at-a-glance urgency.
The Schedule view shows tasks on a calendar by due date, and both Board and Schedule views update in real time as team members make changes, keeping everyone working from the same current state rather than a periodically refreshed snapshot. Task change history shows who last modified a task's status or assignment, giving basic accountability without a formal audit-log product.
