Microsoft Planner

Pros: Microsoft Planner has been an integral resource for planning, both as a single user and across my team. The platform allows me to set goals, monitor progress, and add contributors. The platform is easily accessible, and you can use it as an app on the computer, as well as through the browser, allowing access from multiple devices. The price compared to other platforms is reasonable.

Cons: Planner offers great basic features, but to have multiple active templates, you do have to purchase additional licenses. Even with the added cost, it is still reasonably priced compared to other platforms.

Pros: As a busy event planner, for me the best features are its ability to provide a snapshot of my daily and weekly tasks! I am constantly working on multiple programs at once, so I live and die by a helpful planner that keeps me on task!

Cons: It doesn't have a traditional desktop version so I thought that could be problematic. We installed it as an app and it's working just fine!

Pros: I love that it connects with Microsoft 365 products. We use Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook and sharepoint. It does a good job of offering flexibility to see all your tasks and assign task.

Cons: I wish it allowed for EVEN more flexibility. Connectivity to "to do" lists in outlook was more seamless so you didnt feel you needed to exit planner in order to go to your flagged task emails. Also it would be nice if it was built with the realization that you will eventually have thousands of tasks completed and will live in one planner. Doesnt feel like it is set up that way.

Pros: I like the visual, intuitive task management interface of Microsoft Project. Specifically the Kanban-style boards with buckets and cards. It makes planning and tracking very effortless.

Cons: The Microsoft planner doesn't have the capability to manage complex projects and have less features as compared to the competitor tools which can manage highly complex project workflows.

Pros: I use Microsoft Planner to assign, discuss any challenges and to finally make sure tasks are acomplished within set timelines

Cons: It is an amazing software. No complaints at all. Although I wish i could have more options for charts and diagrams to explain difficult concepts to my team

Pros: MS Planner is a great task and planning tool, so you can keep track of your work. It's well integrated with other M365 apps. I like the special plans for team collaboration feature, where it creates a closed space for collaborating only with invited colleagues. Free version has enough task views options for you to keep a track of your tasks timeline (grid, board, calendar and charts), as well as filters. It's well integrated with power automate, allowing you to create automations. It's very easy to figure out how it works.

Cons: If you want to have some advanced planning tools, like having a Gantt chart for your tasks, you need to have the paid version.

Pros: Microsoft Planner is a nice tool to keep track of Inbound Shipments and their statuses. We share it between multiple departments, including our warehouse team, and we can see how far along they are in their processes.

Cons: Microsoft Planner gives an alert as soon as you are tagged in a card, even if the person creating the card tagged you and then is on there way to add the card details. this is annoying and i wish the notification would come after the card is complete.

Pros: I have ADHD and my job requires constant multitasking, making it really easy to forget to complete tasks. MS Planner helps me keep on track by providing a daily task list linked between MS Teams and Ms Outlook.

Cons: I don’t have anything negative to say about this tool as it has only helped me be more productive. I only wish I had started using it sooner.

Pros: Use Planner to create an effective support ticketing request system for my tech team. Has helped with project progress and being able to analyze work tasks/request for our team.

Cons: Doesn't offer everything in the set up we ideally desired, but was pretty close. Plus, it's the best option we have come across to date.

Pros: Integración perfecta con el resto de aplicaciones de la solución 365 y, en especial, la sincronización con Teams

Cons: En comparación con Asana es algo menos configurable a la hora de discriminar detalladamente tareas, su tareas y algunas dependencias.

Pros: Microsoft planner is a great project management tool to track projects and tasks in one place. The team collaboration features within this product are amazing! I can track project progress across all my team members and use certain features to communicate with each other and getting reminders about these things via email notifications from planner. I love the fact that you can enjoy planner basic to get started and get familiar with using the tool. Because there is a learning curve that requires you to use it and practice using it. However, for the more advanced project managers out there, there is planner premium that allows for more robust project, managing tools and offers the assistance of AI With all of the premium license plans. This tool is universal and can be used by anyone who needs to track project progress.

Cons: There is a learning curve with using any software and there are free demos and tutorials on how to use the product.

Pros: High organization and structure, being able to assign tasks to the entire team and filter them out based on assignment, date and other filters.

Cons: Each task has only 20 subtasks, therefore it would be helpful is that number increased. If tasks grouped themselves automatically based on the deadline, it would be great. We are currently moving them up and down manually.

Pros: I like that I can organize all my tasks. I also like that I have the availability to assign tasks to individuals or teams if I like.

Cons: It lacks some of the features that more advanced programs have. Not very good for large projects but can handle the smaller projects easily.

Pros: It is very easy to set up and get using, the different interfaces e.g. grid/task list, board, timeline, are all easy to switch between, and with minimal training.

Cons: Thus far, it pretty much requires a full account with Microsoft Projects to be used properly. Whilst technically it can be used as free, missing dependencies or ability to subset tasks among other features mean that without this it will be a task list at best.

Pros: Great tool for tracking to-do's, assigning tasks, and staying organized with projects and teams. Great feature set.

Cons: Not quite as feature rich as some like Projects but still a very capable tool for most projects and teams.

Pros: I like that I can assign tasks to my team and categorize them in different buckets. I also like the color coordinated labels.

Cons: The Planner version in Microsoft teams isn't as easy to navigate especially when differentiating between my personal plan and shared plans.

Pros: Microsoft Planner is a hidden gem, it's completely in the cloud, so you can take it anywhere and is a great tool for personal use or for businesses to keep track of things. But where it really starts to shine is with the ability to automate tasks - in conjunction with Microsoft Forms and Power Automate, you can have different teams or customers fill in a form, which then populates Planner with tasks. I have in the past used this to setup a production task creation and tracking workflow for 30+ people, and it worked seamlessly.

Cons: The only downside to Planner is that the completed tasks stay recorded in the completed dropdown, so with heavy use over some time, it can get clogged up and stop accepting new input. To fix this, you have to manually delete old tasks. There may be a better way to do this, but I have not found it.

Pros: Easy to use and integrates wonderfully with Teams, Outlook and OneDrive! With Planner, you can organize events by priority or who it's assigned to.

Cons: This is only available with a Microsoft 365 subscription and the planner is not ideal for complex projects.

Pros: Easy and simple to use, interface is clean and easily move from one bucket to the next.

Cons: Latest update has removed some useful features such as plan templates and the ability to copy labels onto another plan

Pros: Microsoft planner makes organizing your new plan a breeze, along with sharing files and organizing tasks at hand. You can sync across devices to access your planner anywhere you go.

Cons: There is nothing negative to report on this software. It is worth purchasing to keep your business organized.

Pros: I absolutely love Microsoft Planner! Everybody needs a good planner for day to day activities and this does the job!

Cons: No cons as of now other than maybe frequent updates based on customer feedback

Pros: Ease of use. Integration with Outlook, To-Do and Sharepoint with mobile and web accessibility.

Cons: Limited features like Gantt Charts and customizable workflows.

Pros: It makes it easy to track tasks from my project manager

Cons: The interface is pretty stressfull for people not used to project management

Pros: An easy business planner friendly for user without a deep experience

Cons: To light for complex project plan, there still things to improve vs other tool
