Fills a hole (just)

Reviewed 4 years ago

Basic - to the point of not using it after a few initial attempts. The limitations made its use pointless. I recommend Trello over Planner to colleagues.

Pros

MS Planner is a bare bones planner tool. It does the basics of creating tasks and allocating them with, or without schedules. It triggers reminder emails and has basic dashboard views for users to see where their efforts need to be directed.

Cons

When using this product with an O365 licence it requires the plan to be associated with a Team (group). I don't understand why it simply can't be associated to my account. Linking it to a group enables the group members to see and edit what is in the plan. There's no security that will allow me to enable plan access to specific team members - so it can't serve a subgroup of the Team. You also cannot have a plan for Private Teams Channels - who are, again, a subgroup of the Team. So you can't build the plan privately or share it privately. This is a major shortcoming.

We use it in our team to share and track all of our tasks at once

Pros

Actually mine PM came with an idea of implementing Microsoft Planner to our daily work. Planner works fine, filtering and file sharing works great (mostly).

Cons

Different functionalities if you using via Teams or web browser (browser is definitely better option). And it also made a chaos on our Sharepoint. Saves all files in root directory by default.
