Organize Tasks, Manage Projects, and Track Team Progress with Microsoft Planner
Microsoft Planner 365 for Beginners shows you how to replace scattered emails, chats, and sticky notes with one clear system for tracking work. The course walks through Planner's three core views, My Day, My Tasks, and Plans, so you always know what to do next and who owns each task. You also see how Planner connects to To Do, Teams, Outlook, and Copilot across Microsoft 365.
By the end, you will know how to build a plan from scratch or a template, set up buckets that mirror your actual workflow, and add tasks with labels, checklists, and due dates that still make sense weeks later. Switching between Grid, Board, Calendar, and Chart views lets you update a team or spot a scheduling clash in seconds. Filtering, grouping, and exporting to Excel turn raw tasks into a clear status report. You also learn how to build habits around recurring tasks and Copilot, so your plan keeps running with less manual upkeep.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
