Introducing a refreshed design, task chat, and more in Microsoft Planner

So instead of improving Planner, you turned it into an Easter egg hunt. The old card view showed the task, comments, attachments, and updates all in one place, at one glance. Now its a clicky mess.

And the comments section? It used to be a clean running log. Now it’s basically Teams group chat cosplay with @mentions flying everywhere.

I’m literally in the middle of designing and implementing a company-wide tracking system around Planner, and this update gets forced out with no opt-out, no legacy mode, and apparently zero user testing from anyone who actually uses Planner for real work.

  AnavSilverman​ this update is hot garbage and zero customer consideration was given before rolling it out. I honestly might not use it anymore. Maybe i should @mention you in a task so you can see me commenting on an article you wrote.
