Planner App just appeared for us in Sharepoint
Hi all, Was going through a design scope with a business user today and when adding an app into a page I spotted "planner" was there. Fantastic, assumed this was the long awaited integration piec...
Another thought Daniel is that Microsoft has Project as a major product. Keeping a balance between Planner and Project is a goal for them but I understand they are now a joint team. Perhaps they will consider introducing a Plan 2 with more features at a price of course. Just speculation though I have no knowledge of their future plans.
- I'd have hoped the two are treated seperately and the audience is correctly identified for Planner.
MS Project is fine, but it's simply not suitable for lightweight planning and fast moving implementations. Requires more training and seminars explaining Project and the methodology for its use, as opposed to just "doing" stuff.
We use Project for large scale system projects, but really have no appetite introducing it into the day to day- You are spot on but I honestly feel the issue is monetisation. There are plenty of examples of where Microsoft can expand functionality but when it does so creates new tiers of the product. Microsoft Flow and Microsoft Stream are good examples. If Microsoft can see voting for more features it is a demand indicator. I’m sure quite some time is taken balancing trade-offs.
