Why Calendar Planner?
A better way to plan and visualise your year
Calendar Planner replaces outdated SharePoint calendars and clunky overlays with a clean, modern interface designed for teams. Switch between multiple layouts, colour-code categories, manage events quickly, and get instant visibility across your organisation.
It’s fast, intuitive, lightweight and built entirely for SharePoint Online.
This screenshot highlights Calendar Planner’s Timeline View (months), giving your team a complete, at-a-glance overview of events across all 12 months. Colour-coded categories make it easy to spot patterns, busy periods, and team-level activities, while the simple SharePoint-integrated interface keeps everything organised, familiar, and effortless to navigate. Perfect for annual planning, high-level reporting, and keeping everyone aligned throughout the year.
This screenshot showcases the Grid View, which presents your calendar in a compact, multi-month layout. Each month is displayed in a tile-style grid, making it easy to compare schedules, spot patterns, and understand upcoming commitments across the quarter. Ideal for team meetings, leadership reporting, and long-range planning.
Understand Workloads and Overlaps at a Glance. This screenshot highlights the Weekly Timeline View, ideal for spotting overlaps, upcoming deadlines, or busy periods across your team. Events extend visually across multiple days, and colour-coded categories provide immediate context. This view is perfect for operational planning, resource management, and quickly understanding how work is distributed throughout the month.
A Clear, Modern Way to View and Manage Appointments. This screenshot shows Calendar Planner’s Event Details panel, which appears when selecting a day or appointment. Users can instantly view event information, including dates, duration, category, and additional notes. Colour-coded category tags and a clean layout make it easy to understand what’s happening at a glance, while the “View Details” link allows deeper editing or review. Perfect for managing multi-day events and staying organised.

Insights, Use Cases & Scenarios
Education Scenario
(Free Edition)
A university department needs a clear view of key academic dates and programme milestones, without editing or managing events from the calendar itself.
A simple annual view for academic planning
Calendar Planner Free provides an annual view of teaching periods, governance dates and major activities, shown directly from existing SharePoint lists. The Year Grid offers a reliable picture of the year, embedded in a SharePoint page teams already use.

Project Management
(Standard Edition)
Programme and PMO teams need to coordinate activity across the year and keep shared schedules accurate as plans evolve.
Keeping shared schedules aligned as plans change
With the Standard tier, Calendar Planner presents existing SharePoint planning information through interactive month and timeline views that update automatically. Teams can maintain a single source of planning information while giving stakeholders a view that stays current as changes occur.

Large Organisations
(Enterprise Edition)
Large organisations need visibility across operational, regulatory and governance plans, without consolidating them into a new planning system.
Understanding how plans interact over time
The Enterprise tier allows multiple SharePoint schedules to be visualised together in a single view. This makes overlaps, sequencing issues and pressure points easier to see, while leaving ownership and governance exactly where they are today.
