Notifications in App

I need to be able to notify my team while on the go. The notifications on the task chat in the desktop is great, but doesn’t help when in the field.

Works great but could be better

It would be nice if Microsoft followed through and did not leave it half finished. Why disabled comments on the pc but not on phones? Also they created task chat on PC but did not enable it on phones. Please go one way or the other and not leave it in limbo. Also please allow drag and drop for attachments. I would love email messages for either task chat or comments. This app works well for team collaboration so please follow through. Thanks

Terrible UI

UI is terrible. Lots of wasted space, eg can only see 3 tasks at once. I was looking at Planner for task management, but it looks like an auto generated UI rather than something that someone created. Uninstalling now

Terrible UI

Can’t believe this is a published Microsoft product, the user interface is awful. Look at Microsoft To Do, then look at this it is unbelievable the difference in quality.

FAQ

What is Microsoft Planner?

Microsoft Planner is a visual team task management and collaboration application. It allows teams to create plans, organize and assign tasks, share files, and communicate about ongoing work. The app provides a board-like interface where tasks can be organized into buckets and easily moved between statuses.

What are the key features of Microsoft Planner?

Key features include a visual task board for organizing tasks into buckets, the ability to assign tasks to team members, track progress through drag-and-drop functionality, and collaborate directly on tasks with conversations and file attachments. The 'My Tasks' view offers a consolidated list of all assigned tasks across different plans.

Is Microsoft Planner free to use?

Microsoft Planner itself is a free application, but it requires an eligible Office 365 work or school subscription to use. It does not support Office 365 personal accounts. If you are unsure about your subscription, you should contact your IT department.

What devices is Microsoft Planner compatible with?

Microsoft Planner is designed to work across all your devices, allowing you to stay updated and manage tasks whether you are on the go or at your desk. This ensures that team members are always on the same page regarding project progress and task statuses.

How does collaboration work in Microsoft Planner?

Collaboration is a core aspect of Planner. Team members can work on the same tasks, attach photos directly to them, and engage in conversations around specific tasks without needing to switch between different applications. All discussions and deliverables are kept within the context of the plan.
