  title: Microsoft Planner Stand Up a Plan with a Bucket and First Task
  summary: Create a plan in a group, add a bucket to it, then create the first task in that bucket.
  description: >-
    The canonical Planner bootstrap flow. It creates a new plannerPlan contained
    by a Microsoft 365 group, adds a plannerBucket to organize work within that
    plan, and finally creates a plannerTask placed into the new bucket. Each step
    threads the identifier returned by the previous create into the next request
    so a fully organized plan exists after a single pass. Every request is spelled
    out inline so the flow can be read and executed without opening the underlying
    OpenAPI description.
