MicrosoftKelly since Planner is available at no additional cost, what's the concern about using it for task management? With 80% of employees admit to using non-approved SaaS apps in their jobs, (Stratecast, 2013) it's a fine line between turning capabilities off and encouraging shadow IT. What I've noticed talking to customers or here at MS is that employees have less and less patience to wait for a solution to their problem and will pick their phone and find an alternative after a while...
Hi Christophe - That's right, we don't want to encourage shadow IT, but we also can't endorse services that don't meet our compliance and security concerns.
However, I think you're missing the point -- why give us the option to simply make the Planner icon disappear? If our employees can use their organizational credentials to log into the planner service, store company data there, without IT knowledge/approval/controls in place, then why call it part of Office 365? Is this an enterprise solution or not?
IMHO, it is nonsensical to give IT a "fake off switch".
