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.

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.
