@Karuana Gatimu Thank you for commenting, finally!
Totally agree with most of what everyone is saying. These are my biggest gripes (aside from the fact that this feature was announced waaaaay too early):
1) No list view in Planner - for someone who hates Kanban, a list is CRUCIAL. So many other platforms (Asana, etc.) have this. Whyyyy does Planner not!?
2) What someone mentioned above about Tasks from Planner being in an "Assigned to you" category in To Do. This makes no sense. ALL your tasks are assigned to you. You should be able to move them around or somehow mark which List they go in.
3) Separate for Planner, there's no way to tag someone in a comment - this is super annoying. Also - and this just may be our own internal process that isn't correct - but I've been told I'll only get notifications on comments if I first make a comment, vs just being added as a member to the card. Is that correct?
4) There really needs to be TASK TEMPLATES in To Do. Because there's not, I'll make a Board in Planner to outline tasks that a colleague can copy for their own personal use. These are PERSONAL tasks, however each person on my team needs to replicate them often (like, executing an event, for example).
Lastly, there really should be an easy way to get a message from Teams to Tasks. There's a 3rd party add-on for this but it isn't great. This should be built in, similar to how you just did this in email (you highlight a sentence in email and hover over it, a button will appear for you to add a task).
Thanks!
