What differentiates Microsoft Planner from other similar products?

Microsoft Planner is a perfect tool for managing tasks. It works well with Microsoft apps like Teams, Outlook, and OneDrive. This makes it easy to access your tasks from different devices, chat with your team, and automate workflows. Planner is also easy to use, with a simple interface that lets you assign tasks and collaborate quickly. You can organize your tasks with labels and filters and switch between views. Planner is also affordable and included in most Microsoft 365 subscriptions. It follows the same security standards as other Microsoft apps and lets you control who can access your tasks and plans.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like using Microsoft Planner because it works well with Microsoft Teams. It's convenient because I can create and manage my plans and tasks without leaving the Teams app. I can even attach OneDrive or SharePoint files to my tasks and view them in Teams. I can chat with my team about a task and use @-mentions to notify specific team members. The best part is that I can pin my plans to particular channels for easy access. This integration between Planners and Teams is a game-changer because it helps me stay organized and work effectively with my team.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I've noticed that Planner doesn't offer some of the advanced features that other project management tools have, like subtasks, recurring tasks, dependencies, Gantt charts, and @-mentions12. These features can be helpful when working on complex projects, allowing you to manage everything more efficiently and effectively. It's something to remember when deciding which tool to use for your next project.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you're considering using Microsoft Planner, I recommend it! It's an excellent tool for keeping track of projects and tasks and is effortless. I offer tips to take advantage of the different views available, such as the calendar and board views, to understand better what needs to be done and when. Additionally, feel free to collaborate with others on your team and assign tasks to specific people. Microsoft Planner is an excellent choice for anyone looking to stay organized and on top of their workload.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Trustworthy
  • Inspires Innovation
