Announcing Tasks in Teams, a coherent task management experience in Teams.

Super disappointed. So many features missing. After teasing this in November of 2019 with that amazing video I was so excited. But what they’ve released is a big letdown. Essentially, rather than simplifying and combining the best features and functionality from Onenote, ToDo, Planner and Outlook and putting it all in one application that’s accessible across all these platforms, they’ve made yet another incomplete way to access tasks. So if I want to flag items I got to one place, if I want to categorize them it’s in a different place. If I want a list view I have to go to yet a third place. But if I want to be able to drag the items into my calendar or assign to my team, I’ve got someplace else to go. 🤦🏾‍:male_sign:
I’m not sure what the long term plan is for these apps, but as of today, it’s best (for me) to just use (some of) them separately and leave others out completely until they figure out how to integrate it into one experience across O365. That teaser was insane and got me all hopeful, (I mean, can you imagine setting a task in excel or a word doc and then it shows up in  your tasks, assigning it and categorizing it right there?!?!) but as of today, disappointed.
