Does anyone actually use Planner / tasks.office.com?
Also, many features of Planner needs improvement as well!
I’d suggest you use Microsoft ToDo instead which is a service meant for individual use, even if you can share your lists!
Also recently you may now also have your assigned planner tasks in ToDo, to be able to work from one place!
adam deltinger: I should have clarified. I would like to use it with only CERTAIN members of my team. Initially, I only wanted to share this with my direct manager. In time, I would have liked to have added my other team-members so they have visibility into my workload as well.
It still doesn't address all of the other issues regarding notifications, storage of attachments, etc.
The way it came about was an existing SharePoint site for our entire IT team. I simply wanted to turn on the planner so I could plan out my tasks and provide visibility for our Infrastructure team.
The to-do app, while nice, doesn't provide great visibility or even reporting on task progress, hence my excitement about using planner. So, unfortunately, it's just not a viable solution.
