Due date: Beyond the obvious reason that most tasks have a deadline, the Due date field also informs filtering options, the Charts view, and notifications-all of which we’ll discuss shortly.

And if that’s all you need, great! But we’d recommend adding a few more details to really get the most out of Planner. The key word there is “optional”: the only task detail you must enter is a name, which, if you did that for all your tasks, would turn Planner into a very simple task list.
