Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Planner
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

- It helps to give to every task a different priority level
- It helps to check the job amount for every team's member
- It gives an overall view about delays and done activities
- When you mark a task as "done" it disappears from the checklist
- There isn't a back up when you cancel tasks (maybe could be useful a confirm message before the cancellation)
- The "note camp" can't be delete
- Integration in MS Teams
- Possibility to download report for every project managed with Planner
- Low management costs
- On time project, avoiding delays (with planner every team member has the "control" of the project)
- Time saving for the project manager/scrum master in day by day activities
- Cost saving on the internal management costs point of view
The integration with Microsoft Teams is a must that other platform doesn't have.
