Half a year ago we completly left O365 for the project management purposes. We use Monday now. The feature set is incomplete, scattered across the To-Do, Planner, Project, etc.
We have even created an advance custom PBI reporting, exporting Planner daily, so that we could track changes / deltas, introducing checklist last item as a date and parsing it out, so that we could use it as regular subtasks e.g.:
- Check-list item 1 (9.9.2023)
- Check-list item 2 (1.10.2023)
But still - are you aware, that you can't even export complete Planner record? E.g. Priority is not part of the export. Exporting labels is difficult to work with. Planner can't even be a source to Roadmap, etc.
Now to Project online - even such simple stuff like comments, are a complete mess! It switches the user from the Project itself to Teams, and if you post comment to the task there, it is not kept hidden, but exposed to the channel. If you then click the chat link to the task, it does not even bring you back to the task itself, but to the whole Project file, and you have look it up again.
I am kind of upset, as I have brought O365 to our enterprise, only to move away from it for the Project management purposes. Please consolidate your products. Open product like Monday and i 10 minutes you get the idea, what I am talking about.
