Exhibit

Answer Area

• Microsoft Planner can be used to provide customized appointments that customers can schedule on a website.No
• Microsoft Planner can be used to ensure customers receive confirmations and reminders with automatic appointment notifications through email and SMS.No
• Microsoft Planner can be used to assign and manage tasks for customers on a Kanban board by using task cards.Yes

Explanation

Microsoft Bookings handles customer appointments and automatic reminders, while Microsoft Planner is a Kanban-based tool used specifically for task management.

Approach. Statement 1: Select 'No'. Providing a web-based scheduling interface for customized customer appointments is a core feature of Microsoft Bookings, not Microsoft Planner. Statement 2: Select 'No'. Sending automatic appointment confirmations and SMS/email reminders to customers is also a native capability of Microsoft Bookings. Planner does not support external appointment scheduling or automated SMS reminders. Statement 3: Select 'Yes'. Microsoft Planner is a lightweight project and task management tool that organizes work visually using a Kanban board. Tasks are represented as cards that can be categorized into buckets, assigned to users, and tracked through completion.

Common mistakes.

• common_mistake. A common mistake is confusing the capabilities of Microsoft Planner with Microsoft Bookings. While Planner is excellent for team task management using Kanban boards, it does not provide external-facing appointment scheduling, customer self-service booking portals, or automated SMS appointment reminders. Selecting 'Yes' for the first two statements demonstrates a misunderstanding of which Microsoft 365 tool is designed for customer appointment management.
