Amazing Task Management tool

8 /10

What differentiates Microsoft Planner from other similar products?

One of the main features that differentiates Microsoft Planner from other similar products is its integration with Microsoft 365

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of this product is its Kanban board view. You can drag and drop the cards to different buckets, which represent different stages or categories of your project

What do you dislike most about this product?

One of the things I dislike most about this product is its limited features. Microsoft Planner is more of a task management tool than a project management tool, and it lacks some advanced features that you’d find in many competitors. For example, Microsoft Planner does not support recurring tasks, subtasks, dependencies, Gantt charts, time tracking, or budgeting. It also has fewer integrations than other platforms, mainly with Microsoft apps

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Explore the various integrations and add-ons that Microsoft Planner offers. Microsoft Planner can work with many other Microsoft apps, such as Word, Excel, Teams, Outlook, and more. You can also use some of the add-ons to enhance your task management, such as web push notifications, email chat, and video email marketing

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
