Add details to a task
Tasks can have a lot of different details in Planner. You can decide what you want to include or leave out, and how you want your tasks to appear on the Board.
What should I do next?
What you do next really depends on what you know about your work, and how you want to stay on top of things. Consider organizing your tasks into buckets and adding the people you'll be working with.
