MicrosoftWhat a completely useless feature. Add to Outlook means adding a link to an iCal feed...what is this the 1990's?
Our users expect the following from a MICROSOFT Planner app.
1. If they assign a task to a user: The user receives a timely email informing of the assignment - This doesn't happen in a clear and concise manner
2. The user assigned the task can update their task from the application they use the most...Outlook
2. The task gets added to their calendar in OUTLOOK - They don't want to have to have have two places to look for tasks and assignment in a supposedly Microsoft Integrated application, or a whole slew of calendars. Why is there an Outlook Group calendar (that also doesn't update) an iCal Feed (really!!) and their own calendar
There is no advantage in trying to persuade the business to use the apps in Office 365 if they don't integrate seamlessly and the process they involve means they have to use more than one screen. There are many planner apps out there that beats the pants off Planner from usability P.O.V.
The whole app looks and feels like a final year application development project rather than a fully fledged commercially robust application.
I am losing the confidence of my Business team when I promote the benefits of using Office 365 and the apps turn out to be appalling.
