Content Planning with Microsoft Planner
- Communicating with all members of the plan is easy since it’s part of the Office 365 suite. This allows you to easily communicate via Outlook.
- You can quickly view all the tasks everyone is working across Boards
- Your tasks can be broken down to give you a detailed report on where your time was spent the most.
- You can assign anyone in your Microsoft Office 365 account to a task just by typing in their name
- A single checklist per task with a maximum of 20 checkboxes (we find we often need more than that)
- Lack of good reporting options
- You'll receive too many emails (you receive an email each time a task is updated or commented on)
- You cannot set dependency in task order (tasks can be completed in any order - my biggest frustration with this tool)
Great for integration with other MS products
Collaborative task management for the team
For a PMO / large project with resources/cost/gantt management, I would really recommend MS Project.
