Switching up the apps you use every day — like learning Google Workspace when you're comfortable using Microsoft — is never easy. In this video, we'll walk you through how to recreate the functionality of Microsoft Planner for task and project management in the Google Workspace suite of apps.

To sum it up, here's what you'll find:
Google Tasks — Google's app for individual to-dos (no collaboration) that integrates with Gmail and Calendar.
Google Sheets — Google's solution for project planning, like Gantt charts. Similar to Microsoft Excel. Rows require manual setup and data entry.
GQueues — the third-party solution that does it all while feeling built-in.

GQueues is the all-in-one task and project management tool built for Google Workspace. It's not made by Google, but it integrates deeply with Google apps like Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and more — it works where you work. GQueues is powerful enough to handle your most complex team projects, but unlike other task management tools, it feels familiar and easy to use.
