Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Planner

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.
  • Manage active items in progress with detailed information
  • Time planning and deadline management
  • Categorization of different projects
  • Tagging, labeling, and details for individual cards
  • Reporting and dashboards
  • User experience and interface
  • Task tracking
  • Team management
  • Deadline management
  • Allowed us to track 100+ projects
  • Manage project deadlines and delivery
Planner provides better integration with Microsoft products that are used across the organization as a whole. It provides better connection to SharePoint, MS Teams, MS Office products, and even in MS Outlook, which is the company's email client.

Microsoft Planner is well suited for task planning needs for managing different projects. It is well suited for tracking tasks, planning sprints, assigning tasks to other team members, viewing deadlines, and tracking timelines. It also helps with Microsoft Teams integration and sharing task details with other members via Teams.

It could be improved in terms of providing more details to individual tasks/cards, dashboarding, and export capabilities.
