Opiniones de Microsoft Planner

Cuando iniciaba la pandemia de Covid nos mandaron a todos a nuestras casas y al dejar de estar con todo mi equipo vi en este software la oportunidad de organizarnos y esto me encantó

Lo que menos me gustó es quizá que no fue una herramienta sencilla de utilizar por lo que no pudimos sacarle provecho al máximo

This tool helps you breakdown the tasks easily and organize them in a practical way. Additionally, team members can comment and interact within each tasks. This way all the necessery information for one task is kept organized in one place.

The tasks can not be automatically re-arranged according to the labels. Additionally, It is not friendly to the integration of different programs and tools apart from the products of Microsoft.

MS Planner is fully integrated into the Office365 suite. Next to this, adding items is very fast and easy to do because of the low amount of required fields.

MS Planner sometimes has a disturbance so that changes are not immediately visible. The page needs to be reloaded to add changes or see changes.

MS Planner is a bare bones planner tool. It does the basics of creating tasks and allocating them with, or without schedules. It triggers reminder emails and has basic dashboard views for users to see where their efforts need to be directed.

When using this product with an O365 licence it requires the plan to be associated with a Team (group). I don't understand why it simply can't be associated to my account. Linking it to a group enables the group members to see and edit what is in the plan. There's no security that will allow me to enable plan access to specific team members - so it can't serve a subgroup of the Team.
You also cannot have a plan for Private Teams Channels - who are, again, a subgroup of the Team.
So you can't build the plan privately or share it privately. This is a major shortcoming.

Its highly controlled integration with the other Microsoft 365 product modules.
It is very easy to learn, with the gantt view which is customizable and filterable.
The management of notifications is intelligent, they are sent grouped, not one by one.
Integration with email and other tools through Power Automate.

Few features on content management: No text formatting, impossible to identify collaborators in the comment, no drag and drop for files, no preview for images.

It has a very intuitive interface to create Gantt diagrams and define a collaborative environment to assign tasks to the team and track work load in real time. Completely integrated with MS Teams. I specially like the possibility to highlight the priority tasks.

Notifications could be improved with the possibility to mention team members on the comment or messages when tasks are assigned. It does not have outstanding features you cannot get in other project management tools, many of them for free.

The planner is principally great because it's native to Microsoft. Especially in MS Teams, it's super to manage single tasks.

It does have limits in the enterprise tier we have. The most annoying is that we can't tag team members in the comments of tasks and we can't create sub-tasks within it.

It's way easy to use, you don't need any previous experience. You can do many things, such as assign tasks to others and track those tasks with dates on the calendar, it makes everything very easy!

Perhaps the only negative thing is that only team members can participate in the task, that can make it somewhat uncomfortable.

the company i work for has it integrated into teams and it makes everything convenient and in one place. a decent project management tool that is easy to navigate and provides a good user experience.

it is limited, and i assume as the product develops more and more, the cons i do have will go away.

Planner was designed to provide many of the features of Wrike that was drawing customers away from Microsoft. It's an easy to use task management system. You can collaborate with teammates and keep track of different tasks.

Unfortunately, some of the critical capabilities like setting recurring tasks, and saving dashboard views of items to be completed, have not yet made it to Planner.

For some time before finding Planner I had wished for a tool that allowed me to remotely monitor how my team members were progressing against their to do lists without having to nag and ask them directly.

Not only does Planner allow you to do this but it can create goals and objectives for people and allow managers to monitor their productivity.

Asides from this you can also create project mapping tools and upload all the relevant files for a project, assigning smaller tasks to different team members.

It took some time to convince my team of its benefits. It's probably more useful for managers than team members.

It can also make an additional layer of activity for team members to regularly check which some may find overbearing and not helpful.

Planner keeps me and my tasks organized. It also saves time as it allows others to easily see progress and any comments.

Takes time to set up initially, to learn features, how to first use and to integrate with other software.

I have to do a lot of things at the same time, planner helps me keep track of on what stage I'm in each activity.

It's not what I like the least, but it would be nice to know when each task was completed and not just the global activity.

Microsoft Planner is a good tool for planning among teams, keeping track of ongoing projects that are multilayered. It's easy to use and is integrated with other Microsoft apps.

One big feature I think is lacking for Microsoft Planner is the notifications. I had a hard time tagging coworkers and getting email notifications.

I like that the system is accessible on any device. The design is straightforward to use and is moderately feature rich.

There are some core missing features. You can't see all tasks by person assigned, and you can't see all tasks assigned to a team across multiple plans. The team aspect of Planner is minimal and needs to grow. Management features need to be added.

I like how Planner is able to be customized to the project being working on with buckets and theming. It is also nice to assign tasks to others, knowing they will get alerts. Finally, I really enjoy the calendar view once tasks are assigned dates.

There is not one thing i like least, I know there are certain features I need to explore more.

A very easy way to plan and monitor a job, I have used it a lot for small tasks, combined with MS Teams multiplies the power of the tool.

There is a lack of way of dividing activities into steps and setting deadlines.

Mmm, easy to install? Colourful? A great application of a pivot table?

Not what I expected. Neglects their entire target market. Quite useless, in the true sense of the word. I watched a captivating presentation given by a MS employee about how Planner is going to be the 'quot;go-between'quot; with this app, that is, go between Tasks, and MS Project. My interest was immediately piqued. I have many small business clients, ran by over-stressed small business owners who only use their phones, and only have time to take in limited amounts of information. This app is useless on mobile. It has no dashboard feature, which is the second most important feature my clients need. The most important feature, and which is most irritating of all, is that there is no way to sync with Microsoft Outlook! Pardon my vulgarity, but 'quot;double you tea F'quot;?! This app is therefor useless, except for one-man-show businesses that spends most of their time at their desks...whom should be quite satisfied by using Outlook To-Do lists already.

Read the rest of the Planner reviews on site again. Most refer to the Office 365 software as great, and I agree with that, but count Planner out of it.

Microsoft Planner is easy to use and easy to deploy as well. the planner is linked with office 365 which means the user does not have to log into office again.

the application does not allow for non team members to participate, it is team members only application. the user has to copy/paste for them to be able to send content between tasks which can be tedious.

It is a fantastic asset to have if you want to be organized, productive, and effective when conducting business or school.

Regarding this app, there are few things I dislike. One aspect could be that it could be easier to navigate.

Microsoft Planner is a nice addition to the Microsoft Suite but as a Mac user I find the interface can be cumbersome. The cost of purchasing an additional platform outweighs any inherent benefit.

Ease of interface with Mac, constant updates, almost daily, and cost are three barriers to my continued use.
