2020: The announcement of Outlook Spaces - the tool for project management
On August 28, 2020 Microsoft officially announced start of the new tool for Outlook Spaces project management. Access to it can be got from the web version of Outlook, having clicked the icon of the expanded menu. Meanwhile subscribers of Microsoft 365, owners of educational licenses and some corporate customers can make it.
Outlook Spaces also known as Project Moca, represents a board on which it is possible to collect files and data from the different applications connected with one project. For example, it can be tasks, the purposes, notes, files from OneDrive and third-party cloud services, links, contacts, e-mail messages and events.
Modern workflows involve a set of different information types which require your regular attention. As these data are stored in various applications, between them continually it is necessary to switch. It distracts and reduces productivity — told in Microsoft. — Thanks to Spaces data from different applications are integrated and output in dynamic space. Imagine a dresser with an unlimited number of boxes, and each box contains an unlimited number of organizers in it. Approximately the same represents the new tool. |
Cards on a board it is possible to locate in random order, to select for them individual signs and color.
The project it is possible to create empty or to use a set of in advance prepared templates: week plan, project plan, training plan, plan of a power supply and improving plan.
The reminders created on a board and tasks automatically appear in the calendar and are synchronized with other applications, including Outlook, Microsoft To Do and Teams. In turn, during creation of the Spaces cards tightens data from other applications, for example, contacts from Outlook.
The new tool can be used as a personal organizer, and not only for work, but also, for example, for vacation planning, and in group with other users — at joint work over projects.[1]
