I'm impatient
Have you see this already from MS Ignite, so a few months ago now:
Not sure when we will get to see these new features, which I know is what you're asking. At least there is a solid roadmap and you know it's only a matter of time.
- There is some awesome innovation coming for 2017, including what we presented at Ignite in September!
- Perhaps I won't get a response but it's worth a shot. I like planner and set up project milestones in there but there are two things that are sorely needed for me.... actually, just one: the ability to view tasks in a timeline OR (...and/or) add the tasks to the associated group calendar. At least let us view the tasks and milestones in a calendar. That would help us see how the tasks overlap (particularly since we have the ability to specify both Start and due dates.
Has this not been a major complaint?
The other stuff is nice (particularly being able to assign more than one user to a task or to assign users to subtasks) but this is turning my colleagues away from this and towards Gantt chart tools- Just this week, I discovered that tasks are displayed in a list format when using the Charts view. To be honest, I kind of like this view MORE for some projects.
I just wish I could see more task and less chart.
I'm torn on this. On the one hand, teams across MS are releasing new features at a rate that makes it near impossible to keep up but on the other it's what I've come to expect. I now expect teams to release features incrementally rather than in big bangs. It seems like the Planner team is a perfect fit for this new incremental release cycle. ? Without wanting to sound disgruntled, why is the Planner team not following that kind of schedule? Say, monthly updates?
Yes, I agree. Incremental release cycle is what people expect now.
