Planner: My Tasks redesign

🚨 The Signal: Planner's 'My Tasks' is redesigned, consolidating tasks and using Copilot to prioritize. This centralises task management, potentially exposing more user activity to AI analysis and changing how task data is accessed.

The Impact

End-users are affected by a new interface and Copilot integration, with potential risks related to data privacy and AI governance.

  • End-users: New interface may require training and adaptation.
  • Security Teams: Need to assess Copilot's data access and processing for task prioritisation.
  • Privacy Officers: Review data handling practices for tasks processed by Copilot.
  • Compliance Teams: Verify Copilot's adherence to data residency and privacy policies.

The Action

  1. Review Microsoft's documentation on Copilot's data processing for Planner tasks.
  2. Assess existing data governance policies for applicability to AI-driven task prioritisation.
  3. Communicate changes to end-users regarding the new 'My Tasks' experience and Copilot's role.
  4. Monitor audit logs for Copilot interactions with Planner data, if available.
