Asks, tasks, and projects in Microsoft 365 provide an integrated way to manage work across the Microsoft ecosystem. The document discusses:
1) Asks are any request for action, while tasks are a specific type of ask to be completed by a set date. Not all asks are tasks.
2) Disconnected systems, distracted workforces, and security risks can hurt productivity.
3) Microsoft 365 features like Teams, Planner, To Do and Project enable organizing and prioritizing work through a cohesive experience across apps and services. This includes breaking large tasks into steps and suggesting important tasks.
