Planner - gut gemeint, nicht gut umgesetzt

Hi, toll, daß es eine Planner App auf dem iPad gibt, die den Screen komplett nutzt. Allerdings fehlen einige Funktionen im Planner, wie bspw. Entsprechende Filter nach Bezeichnungen. Die Suche funktioniert damit nicht. Wenn man dann den Planner im Browser verwenden möchte, ZWINGT einen das System, die App zu nutzen, d.h. Man hat keine Chance den Planner auf dem iPad im Browser zu nutzen. Damit kann man mit Microsoft an vielen Stellen auf dem iPad noch lange nicht so durchgängig arbeiten wie auf dem Rechner. Hier noch ein Hinweis auf die Teams-App. Da merkt man bei intensiver Nutzung, daß die Apps für iPad eher schlecht als recht im echten Business Leben getestet sind. Sind eher nur Hilfestellungen, wenn man den Rechner nicht zur Hand hat. Tja, ich hoffe auf Besserung. Das geht zu langsam aus meiner Sicht.
Ergänzung: neue Chatfunktion immer noch nicht auf iOS/ipados verfügbar

Comments/Chat

The internet and app versions of Planner seem to be different when it comes to comments and chat. What is the difference between them? Why can’t they be in both internet and app versions? And my team using it cannot see my chat messages, only comments. Do they need to be specifically assigned to an event to see the chat? Not thrilled with the communication side of Planner. My Team and I have been using this platform for a few years now.

Crash city

Crashes all the time. Cannot execute the most basic of tasks.

Great tool

Stoked that our government department is giving us good tools to plan and track work. So far I’m finding it useful. Just need to bring the teams on board.

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.
