It isn’t designed to replace the heavy-lifting style of project management done by Microsoft Project. Like Delve, it then uses Office Graph to create user-specific, interactive dashboards of project status. Planner is a brand new tool that allows teams to quickly set up projects and populate them with tasks and documents. It does this by using data from Office Graph - essentially a complete record of every document, meeting, or email-related action taken by every user - to build a tiled dashboard of people, projects, and documents that are related to what you’ve been working on, or that have been shared with you. Available to organizations with Office 365 business subscriptions, it uses the power of Microsoft’s servers to allow users to get an automated view into what is likely to be important to them. Delve has been out in preview form for a while. Office 2016 introduces two entirely new applications to support teams. For organizations that have standardized on Office, there is plenty to like in its newest incarnation. Real-time collaboration has also been added to Word, OneNote, and PowerPoint. The new version features brand new team-only apps Planner and Delve, as well as Sway, an innovative new presentation creation and sharing application. Microsoft has started using OneDrive as the default storage location for an increasing number of its applications, but that is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the integration of the cloud - and team-based workflows - in Office 2016. Cloud-first is more than just defaulting to OneDrive The minute you start to share or work with others, though, the major changes in the way the Office system works begin to appear. Other than a bit of a facelift, and some admittedly welcome added features that we first reviewed in the Preview version (and won’t re-hash here), for the most part it looks and acts like Office 2013.

If you simply install Office 2016 on a single desktop, you could be excused for wondering what Microsoft has been doing for the last three years.
