Microsoft Planner Likes & Dislikes
Microsoft Planner has powerful task-level details, which consist of links, checklists, labels, priority, among others, offering detailed information without overwhelming the user. Microsoft Planner has a seamless mobile app accessibility that is well designed, shows assigned tasks and offers timely updates. The app has inbuilt progress trackers, helping us track task progress and resources required to complete different assignments.
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
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.
Microsoft Planner has limited advanced project planning capabilities like Gantt Charts and Critical Path Tracking, among others.
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
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.
