Microsoft Planner

Microsoft Planner is the project management software my small business has been looking for for quite awhile. Considered using Microsoft Project but it is too complex and not suited for the small projects we do and the type of projects we do. Microsoft Planner is the perfect project planning solution software for our needs because it is easy to learn, easy to use, and quick to setup.

Microsoft Planner is used to organize activities in different projects, especially for the ones managed with Agile practice.
With Planner, the Scrum Master (but also the traditional Project Manager), has an immediate view about the different activities/objectives for every Sprint or deadlines and about the tasks assigned to every component of the group. So you can immediately understand if a team's member has more or less things to do respect the other members of the team. Moreover, you can immediately understand if there are activities with delay or with critical points that needed to rescheduled in the future.
In our company planner is integrated in MS Teams, so with only one platform we can manage projects both on the calendar point of view but also with interactions among team's members

Microsoft Planner is the best way to manage all my team tasks and deliver everything on time. Previously, I was using Asana for the same workflow. But Microsoft offered this tool within the package of our outlook mail. The tool made it easy to list all the day, week, and month tasks so we can keep a track of everything at the time [in] a single place. Moreover, we can add our team members, add deadlines, set priorities, and even assign tasks to members. We were able to track all the work of our clients, i.e. where we have reached the tasks and goals for a particular client. Multiple board options made it easier to differentiate various clients and their work. Thus, the software was very beneficial for [the] overall workflow of our marketing team.

In my company, we do a lot of web projects and work with both clients and subcontractors. The planner was a Godsend mostly because it is operated via a mobile app and integrates with MS Teams so tasks show up in the app for each member. It gets the work done and keeps it out of a chat thread with minimal disruptions to your workday.

Microsoft Planner was implemented so that we could use it in conjunction with our Office 365 subscription. It seemed to be the best route for our company to take since the majority of our office has years of experience using Microsoft software. We were looking for a software that would allow us to plan and schedule our current projects. Being a construction company that has anywhere from 30-50 jobs under contract at any given time, it is very important to us to be able to communicate efficiently from the office to the shop and field.

The majority of our services use Microsoft Planner to manage their work efficiently. Its integration with Microsoft Suite and other products such as Microsoft teams/office365 makes it easier for you and your team to manage tasks.

We used it to view the project process and the assignments assigned to each team member. It also provides useful information about the progress of the project or if we don't meet our timelines.

It also helps you to create different team/groups for a common project and helps leads to manage multiple projects at one place with multiple groups

We use the Microsoft Planner in our organization heavily to create, manage and orchestrate the simple to complex project plans / tasks. The ability to create, edit, view and share the plan, files and timelines with the internal and external team is helpful and versatile. The smooth integration of native Office 365 apps improves the usability of Microsoft Planner. It is amazing that each new plan created in Microsoft Planner automatically creates a new Office 365 group.

We currently use it for our content assignments. A piece of content is assigned to a user to create, from there it is then assigned to another user for editing and then to another user for publishing on the website, and then finally to push to our social channels. It is great to use in conjunction with our SharePoint as you can link documents to the tasks. We have our content grouped by product type so we know how much content for each of our products we are creating.

Microsoft Planner is used to manage projects and initiatives for different teams inside the organization. It is also used to manage day-to-day activities of different teams working on a single project. Managers use it as a tool to manage roadmaps for different active and upcoming projects in their department.

Microsoft Planner gives my team an intuitive, collaborative, and visual task management experience to get the job done. It's a simple tool to use but it adds a lot of productivity, allowing better performance. Like any organization[al] tool, it requires constant updating.

In our organization, MS Planner is used only (for the moment) by the software development team to follow shared dev tasks across technical domains or projects.
It suits us because these use cases required a very simple and accessible lightweight tool, dislike MS Project.
We also [chose] it because of its integration with MS Teams and Microsoft 365.

[Microsoft Planner is used for] task and workload management. Too often, I and others I work with utilize sticky notes, notepads, etc. to try and remember and keep track of immediate "To-Dos" and long term projects. Microsoft Planner not only makes it easy to quickly create tasks for an individual, it helps us assign tasks in larger projects, remember tasks on the go, keep track on the progress of tasks/projects, and so much more.

Used across the whole organization to keep work tasks up to date and inform others of what one is looking for. Both between departments and intra-departmentally, Microsoft Planner was used to keep teams synchronized and up-to-date on tasks that needed completing. LIke access to see others to-do lists, can be a bit complicated/jumbled for those who are computer-challenged.

Our IT department has been using Microsoft Planner software to manage the activities of members. Some other departments of the company are also using it. In this space, we were able to create a list of tasks and organize them into tables and cards with deadline definitions, members responsible for a certain activity, attach files, images and view progress progress. The experience has been great so far to raise productivity, organize the assignment of activities that is passed on by the department head and keep track of everything.

Our Marcomm department uses Planner to organize tasks and workflows. We also use the forms function to allow other departments to submit a request that we can then assign to the correct user for execution. This allows the team to prioritize requests instead of taking orders.

We use planner for blueprints of company policy and procedures, such as onboarding & offboarding templates, as well as the typical project management. It's used mainly by our HR and Marketing departments and works very well in conjunction with the entire Microsoft Suite. It's ease of use makes it a highly recommendable product.
