Likelihood to Recommend Most of the project management software in existence today is focused on agile/sprint based processes. If your team happens to use Kanban instead, KanbanFlow is one of the best options for tracking work. It's quick to get started and learn and has a manageable feature set that won't overwhelm anyone.
Read full review I think Planner is a good platform for manage projects especially if I think that is integrated in MS Teams so, with a unique platform you can have the control about the project, about all the documents linked to the same project and at the same time, with the possibility to chat with other team members without change platform. I think also there are other platform (like
Jira or
Trello ) which are better in terms of layout

Read full review Add as many plans as you want Keeps tasks organized via Buckets into each plan Ability to create a plan directly within Teams via the Tasks app Read full review Cons I'm not sure if it has this or not because I've only been using it for about 6 months but we haven't quite figured out how to archive things. We have lots of data on that main page from Q3 and Q4 of last year but we need to figure out how to get it away from our main page so we can focus on new things this quarter I know when I was first added there were a few things the admin had to do in order to do that. All I remember is that it wasn't simple for them to get me hooked up. They had to do a few steps and then I was granted access. I don't know what exactly but I had to wait.

It is another work productivity app, which, while it has its benefits, can actually detract instead of enhance work productivity.
Read full review Alternatives Considered I really like the simplicity and the subtasks found in KanbanFlow. It seems to be the easiest tool to get clients not using another method to use this without any challenges on their part.
Trello has card dependencies, which is a nice touch.
Trello also has a lot of add-ons, but I find them to be a little glitchy.
Kanban Tool has really nice reporting and analytics.
Read full review Many areas of the company still use
Trello to organize their activities and tasks, but gradually Microsoft Planner must replace the activities. Users are often "attached" to familiar technologies, but Office 365 takes advantage of the more organized use of the tools. This year we will not renew the
Trello contract.
