May Update Blog

HowardCrow It was a general lament about the content on the roadmap currently (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Microsoft%20Project%2CRolling%20out). Right now the only features shown as being in development are related to Charts View and Data Usage. Microsoft held an in person event in April that provided a list of upcoming features that, frankly, many of us have been begging for without so much as a peep from the dev team, and the only way we find out about it is by another forum member stumbling across the blog of some random guy who attended the event. What's the point of this blog and the roadmap if no one is going to communicate the broader vision for the platform with legitimate timelines? My whole point about saying that Microsoft being the "800 LB Gorilla" is that it's so big it doesn't have to care to communicate and can get away with releasing a product line (Microsoft For The Web) that is frankly still in beta at best, be almost radio silent on its long term plans, and expect everyone to just deal with it.

Despite my objections, our team simply just got tired of waiting and being in the dark and swapped our entire company to the Monday.com platform. The frustrating part is that I know at some point you all will sort this out and release a fully fledged product that integrates with the "task" assignments from your full product suite, has more than 1 dependency type, isn't limited to 500 tasks, can be embedded, plays nice with the Microsoft dataverse and powerBI, has formula columns, has a better roadmap layout, ect...

When all this will happen.... God only knows. Until then, monday.com it is.
