The best thing about Microsoft Planner is that it comes along with the Microsoft Officer 365 platform. Apart from this creating a plan is pretty simple and easy even for new users which is further customizable according to the project need. It also offers multiple views such as Board, List and Calendar view which makes project visualization much simpler and managed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downside of the Microsoft Planner is, it does not comes independately other than with Officer 365 package. Furthermore, it only offers basic project management features and does not have more advanced and detailed features such as task sharing and visibility control features.

Once I make some teams in Microsoft teams, it takes time to be imported to Planner. It is the same for other apps. The time lag if removed would make it much easier to handle everything dynamically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Planner is an online application that is very useful for task management. Whenever you are running a project, having a planner is a powerful tool for assigning different tasks to your team members with an executive date for each task. In addition, the planner helps you to draft your plan and adjust any modifications during the project. It gives you an overview or status of your project and what milestones achieved at any moment. Therefore, you can easily track the progression of your project and take necessary actions to prevent any delays in completing your project. The application offers different views of the planner such as grid view, board, and charts so someone can easily screen what tasks your team members have completed and what tasks are with overdue dates. Also, the planner contains the names of your team members with assigned tasks so you can follow up with each team member about the specific task through an option called "Teams". In summary, a Microsoft planner gives you a lot of opportunities for managing your project and team member assignments/tasks. It is very useful for project management roles. The advantage of Microsoft Planner is that you can easily share it with other team members during presentations or team meetings. During the meeting, you can edit the project plan.

The mobile version of MS Planner is very simple and non-customizable. The absence of recurring tasks and Gantt charts also makes it bad. There is no time tracking which makes it difficult to stay on scheduled and monitor yopur team's progress. Also the lack of portfolio management, no access to dashboards limits its usability.

We previously used a custom solution built into Sharepoint 2013 to track our current projects and completed action items, and moving to Microsoft's Planner has made this easy and efficient. We are able to effortlessly assign users to a task, and shift end dates around, as well as using Microsoft's power automate to create behind the scenes processes to do things like an approval process.
