I totally agree with Bongolo previous comments, and :
- Planner is not really a team tool - you cannot secure tasks (anyone can erase it - which is an issue). When you work as a guest on another company tenant, you cannot have notifications when someone assigns you a task - hard to understand why. Waiting for the new version of Planner (Tasks)
- No integration with professional tools like MS-Project that we use for all project. The Online version is so poor that nobody uses it. MS Project is the industry standard - why not do a real plug-in to that and rework the Online version so it fits the capabilities on the desktop version
- Lists might do the job for me, once it is fully implemented - which is just partially implemented for now. Only because it is customizable
- All these tasks management tools on MS 365 seems more oriented toward small businesses and not toward medium or large size
- Tasks based on Word and Excel @mentions will be great once fully implemented in a reworked Planner (you need to have a dashboard of what you've sent to others - otherwise useless)
