Course Overview

The Microsoft Planner Premium course by Microsoft is designed for project managers, team leads, and collaboration specialists who need advanced work management capabilities within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. While no formal certification exam is tied directly to this course, it aligns with core competencies in Microsoft’s modern work solutions and supports broader Power Platform and M365 administrator skill sets. This training is ideal for professionals managing complex projects in agile or hybrid environments, particularly those overseeing cross-functional teams in mid-to-large enterprises. According to a Forrester TEI study, organizations using Microsoft Planner Premium report up to 12% gains in employee work efficiency, with over 3,600 employees leveraging premium licenses to streamline project execution and reduce time spent on administrative tasks.

This course covers key Microsoft tools including Planner Plan 1 and Planner and Project Plan 3, Microsoft Teams, Power BI, Power Apps, and the Project Power App integration. Participants engage in hands-on labs within a live Microsoft 365 environment, where they build premium plans from scratch, convert basic plans to premium, and configure advanced features such as task dependencies, sprints, milestones, and custom fields. Using the Microsoft 365 admin center, learners practice license management and monitor usage analytics. A key real-world scenario involves creating a resource-loaded work-back schedule using the Assignments view to contour effort distribution, enabling precise financial and staffing forecasts. Labs also include setting project goals, visualizing timelines with Gantt charts, and using People view to balance team workloads and prevent burnout.

By mastering Microsoft Planner Premium, professionals enhance their ability to drive project success with enterprise-grade planning tools. The skills gained support roles in project coordination, agile delivery, and digital workplace optimization, with PMP-certified project managers using these capabilities to improve team productivity and reduce project cycle times by up to 20%. According to industry data, employees using Planner Premium have an average fully burdened annual salary of $95,680, reflecting the value organizations place on effective work management. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling and official Microsoft courseware, ensuring consistent access to up-to-date training. Upon completion, learners are equipped to lead high-impact initiatives, improve cross-team collaboration, and contribute to strategic business outcomes using Microsoft’s integrated project management ecosystem.
