Avis clients sur Microsoft Planner

It is a tool that comes included with the licensing that we already pay for along with Office 365 and Exchange.
It is very easy to add new users, which we link to our corporate Microsoft account.
It helps us reduce user administration and licensing since all those who require this service and others from Microsoft are managed on the same platform.

They are not dynamic like other tools we have used in the past.
Obtaining gantt or flow charts is not something that simple.
Although it helps the entire organization in general, users who manage projects still use project software especially when we have to follow up with third parties.

Its highly controlled integration with the other Microsoft 365 product modules.
It is very easy to learn, with the gantt view which is customizable and filterable.
The management of notifications is intelligent, they are sent grouped, not one by one.
Integration with email and other tools through Power Automate.

Few features on content management: No text formatting, impossible to identify collaborators in the comment, no drag and drop for files, no preview for images.

The service is easily available as it's part of Office 365 subscriptions. It integrates fairly well with other Microsoft services and does fulfill the basic task management needs.

Frequent issues with lost updates and such, especially on other browsers than Microsoft Edge. No support for tagging certain users (in comments or such). Poor support for workflows (tasks can be assigned to multiple people at a time, with no other means of ensuring that other people get updates, so it's hard to determine who should act on a certain task at a certain time).

Super simple to use and with a good range of functionality, Planner is a light project management tool that is an important part of the Office 365 suite. Tasks for part of the task engine within Office 365 through Microsoft To Do. Information and categorisation that can be recorded on a task is versatile and, when coupled with search and filters, makes keeping track of tasks easy.

The most frustrating aspect of Planner is the lack of a public view of the board and tasks. Only members of the team can follow progress. Planner is so closely coupled into the team membership of Office 365 that it limits its uses.
Also, the lack of gantt chart functionality weakens the ability of Planner to be considered a serious project management tool.

Integration with other Office 365 tools.

I wish that this tool can adapt the copy & paste feature when you try to make a checklist with many items from one external file or app.

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.

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.

Microsoft Planner is a convenient and practical tool for task management especially for teams, not to mention that you can integrate it with its Microsoft 365, which is great. I find the interface refreshing in comparison to other apps because I appreciate its simplicity and user friendliness so I enjoy using it. I can keep track of my tasks and to-do lists and meet deadlines and the view makes things much easier and flexible and you can customize it to your liking.

i haven't found problems since using it so I'm happy with it.

It has a very intuitive interface to create Gantt diagrams and define a collaborative environment to assign tasks to the team and track work load in real time. Completely integrated with MS Teams. I specially like the possibility to highlight the priority tasks.

Notifications could be improved with the possibility to mention team members on the comment or messages when tasks are assigned. It does not have outstanding features you cannot get in other project management tools, many of them for free.

The planner is principally great because it's native to Microsoft. Especially in MS Teams, it's super to manage single tasks.

It does have limits in the enterprise tier we have. The most annoying is that we can't tag team members in the comments of tasks and we can't create sub-tasks within it.

It allows me to easily track various projects and tasks that I'm working on. It allows easy collaboration with other teammates on individual projects as well. Then everyone can quickly see what is being worked on, the status, and what needs attention.

It would be nice if I could integrate it into Outlook or someplace that's an easier reminder that it's there. Right now I have it open in my browser and keep it open all the time, but that's not ideal.

This tool helps you breakdown the tasks easily and organize them in a practical way. Additionally, team members can comment and interact within each tasks. This way all the necessery information for one task is kept organized in one place.

The tasks can not be automatically re-arranged according to the labels. Additionally, It is not friendly to the integration of different programs and tools apart from the products of Microsoft.

This program has many pros. The ability to attach files, comments, notes, and detailed steps (that can be checked off) within a single task is amazing. Not only can you assign a task to a person(s), you can also sort them by buckets (or categories). We like to celebrate when all our "Buckets" are empty!

Two major things would improve this software tremendously. The ability to schedule a task for a specific time, and the ability to assign the steps within a task to individual users.

For some time before finding Planner I had wished for a tool that allowed me to remotely monitor how my team members were progressing against their to do lists without having to nag and ask them directly.

Not only does Planner allow you to do this but it can create goals and objectives for people and allow managers to monitor their productivity.

Asides from this you can also create project mapping tools and upload all the relevant files for a project, assigning smaller tasks to different team members.

It took some time to convince my team of its benefits. It's probably more useful for managers than team members.

It can also make an additional layer of activity for team members to regularly check which some may find overbearing and not helpful.

MS Planner is fully integrated into the Office365 suite. Next to this, adding items is very fast and easy to do because of the low amount of required fields.

MS Planner sometimes has a disturbance so that changes are not immediately visible. The page needs to be reloaded to add changes or see changes.

Planner keeps me and my tasks organized. It also saves time as it allows others to easily see progress and any comments.

Takes time to set up initially, to learn features, how to first use and to integrate with other software.

I have to do a lot of things at the same time, planner helps me keep track of on what stage I'm in each activity.

It's not what I like the least, but it would be nice to know when each task was completed and not just the global activity.

Microsoft Planner is a good tool for planning among teams, keeping track of ongoing projects that are multilayered. It's easy to use and is integrated with other Microsoft apps.

One big feature I think is lacking for Microsoft Planner is the notifications. I had a hard time tagging coworkers and getting email notifications.

Wir verwenden Planner, um viele unserer wiederkehrenden Arbeitsaufgaben zu organisieren. Ein Plan lässt sich sehr schnell erstellen. Die Darstellung des Plans und der einzelnen Aufgaben ist sehr übersichtlich. Die Pläne helfen ungeübten oder neuen Mitarbeitern, ungewohnte Aufgaben sicher auszuführen. Routinierte Mitarbeiter schätzen die Checklisten eines Plans, um in der Routine nichts zu übersehen. Aufgaben lassen sich sehr gut zwischen Mitarbeitern aufteilen. Im Dashboard kann man den Fortschritt der Aufgabenerfüllung gut kontrollieren.

In Planner lassen sich keine wiederverwendbaren Templates erzeugen.

Since it’s an Office product, it integrates easily with my other programs. It did not cost anything extra. I like being able to bring tasks and items from multiple places into a single place where I can organize my work.

It does more than I need it to! The notifications can get annoying the more you use it. And I started ignoring them after a while, which defeats the purpose, and adds more work to stay on top of them.

I like that the system is accessible on any device. The design is straightforward to use and is moderately feature rich.

There are some core missing features. You can't see all tasks by person assigned, and you can't see all tasks assigned to a team across multiple plans. The team aspect of Planner is minimal and needs to grow. Management features need to be added.

Cuando iniciaba la pandemia de Covid nos mandaron a todos a nuestras casas y al dejar de estar con todo mi equipo vi en este software la oportunidad de organizarnos y esto me encantó

Lo que menos me gustó es quizá que no fue una herramienta sencilla de utilizar por lo que no pudimos sacarle provecho al máximo

I like how Planner is able to be customized to the project being working on with buckets and theming. It is also nice to assign tasks to others, knowing they will get alerts. Finally, I really enjoy the calendar view once tasks are assigned dates.

There is not one thing i like least, I know there are certain features I need to explore more.

It's way easy to use, you don't need any previous experience. You can do many things, such as assign tasks to others and track those tasks with dates on the calendar, it makes everything very easy!

Perhaps the only negative thing is that only team members can participate in the task, that can make it somewhat uncomfortable.

A very easy way to plan and monitor a job, I have used it a lot for small tasks, combined with MS Teams multiplies the power of the tool.

There is a lack of way of dividing activities into steps and setting deadlines.

It’s easy to create, assign and track tasks and progress.

I would love if the notifications could be a bit more customizable. I don’t like that the only option is to get all or none.
