Microsoft
MicrosoftI'm a bit confused. Is it really creating a new Plan in Planner for each task list? You can't choose an existing plan? Here is the problem I see with that from and end user's perspective. Let's say there are several members of a Microsoft Team that is already using Planner within their team. Now let's say over the course of a couple months, 10 emails are generated as part of daily work/stand-ups where team members decide to use that feature to identify additional tasks that need to be done. Well, without them being able to pick from a list of existing Plans, it sounds like each of those emails will result in 10 additional Plans being created to hold tasks from each email. You must be kidding, right? Also, I hear that the new meetings experience coming to Teams is going to use Loop as well, also with the capability to add tasks within the meeting notes. That could result in the same issue if they can't create those tasks in an existing Plan. Let's say there are 5 team meetings where action items are identified within the meeting notes in the form of tasks. Once again, the team will be faced with managing their existing Planner Plan and 5 additional Plans as a result of each of those meetings. Please tell me I'm wrong. If I'm correct, that is an enormous oversight by Microsoft...users just won't get it...why so many task creation tools in this platform?...a question I often get asked...and I never have a good answer for them.
