How can I easily tell which plan is which in Planner?
I used to open Teams every morning, click into Planner and all my plans looked the same:
-Same layout.
-Same columns.
-Same “which plan am I actually in?” Pause!
So, I changed the background colour on each plan. This tiny visual shift gave each plan their own visual identity and where I could, the colours aligned to the project branding I was working on.
