Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Planner

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.

I recommend this software for basic and intermediate use. For large projects it is not recommended because some resources are missing. But in my case it meets my needs. The Microsoft Planner tool has helped me a lot to stay organized, planned my activities that must be developed during the week, month, semester. Integration with e-mail allows reminder and pending notifications to be triggered. Collaboration with other members of the IT team is great for monitoring the progress of other activities in parallel and which are dependent on mine.
