MReeseDuo Let's put it this way, the roadmap does not reflect the engineering backlog. Its a tool that is used by PMs and Marketing to make it easier to inform customers as well as present the information in a nicer form. Unfortunately, due to not pulling from the actual backlog automatically (its curated, hand entered information), it can sometimes become stale or completely out of date.


Rest assured, Planner is going strong 🙂

Thanks Anubhav Singh (OFFICE 365) 

I really hope so, because i have colleagues from business asking to us Monday.com , but instead I'd really like to promote Planner , as i consider both very similar task management tools.

I have tried to compare the two and I see that Indeed there are a couple of useful capabilities not yet covered in Planner (tagging of tasks, workflow attached to tasks, workload management, etc.)

 

Best,
