Microsoft Planner Likes & Dislikes
I like that it's a central location where you can keep notes and actions. It's a lot cleaner and more up to date than OneNote and easy to connect Team Meetings to where you can add tasks, status and notes. I like the nesting ability to keep track of things in folders if you have reoccurring meetings or lists of tasks that need to be shared and status visible to all.
I really like the elegant simplicity of the Planner cards and the fact that it integrates with apps such as Teams. It's included as part of the MS365 Teams subscription
It offers dynamic task management for creating tasks for employees, descriptions, and check lists for finalizing projects for clients. Microsoft Planner can easily transform projects or work data into Smart Charts, Graphs and dashboards for managing job completion on time, reminders for overdue tasks and project health. It seamlessly integrates with Microsoft 365 environments like Teams, Outlook, SharePoint and OneDrive, which eases communication and documentation sharing.
Not necessarily Planner itself, but recently Microsoft seems to be pointing MS Project cloud users to Planner and it's not intuitive how Planner can take the place of Project. For new users, it's not intuitive on how they can get to pages or connect with their meetings. You learn it over time or by chance, but it has some neat features. Adoption is slow but can be effective if people use it.
Confusion of how it integrates into Planner and To Do It keeps changing and relaunching with a slightly different name or features but it's still frustrating to use Need to upgrade to a paid Project account for larger projects and features
There are limitations for remote workers who are working in rural areas, users might face issues due to unstable connections and weather conditions. It lacks Gantt Charts and Advanced time tracking filters which are really important for larger projects.
