Microsoft Lists: Online Project Management and Task Tracking

A list in Microsoft 365 is a flexible container for organized information. It is commonly used for project management, tasks, and issue tracking but can be used for any data that can be organized into columns and rows. You can add columns for different types of data, such as text, or multiple choice, or a list of persons at Tufts. You can create lists in the Lists app in Microsoft 365, Microsoft SharePoint, or Microsoft Teams.

Lists have different views and options. For example, when working in a project, you may want to view the list as a board with only tasks assigned to you.
A board view separates list items into columns such as in progress, completed, or not started.

An associated form might look like this:
