Revert to old Planner?
As of today, the new Planner version has been rolled out for our organisation. MS Planner is pretty much the most important tool for our project management. With the update, we can no longer copy p...
I'd also like to revert to the old Planner. My issues are mainly two:
- The "Assigned to me" view, which I use 95% of the time, was worsened. On the old Planner I could choose a Board/Kanban view and group tasks by Due Date. This was perfect, because then I could view the tasks due today, due tomorrow, due this week and due in the near future (the green are on the image below). Now, I only have a overwhelming list view which doesn't help me focus on the tasks that are due soon. The Kanban/Board view is still available inside each Plan but this doesn't solve the problem because my tasks span multiple Plans. I need a unified view where I can see all my Assigned tasks in all Plains, and I need the Kanban/Board view so I easily prioritize by due date.
- On the old Planner (which was always on Board/Kanban view) I could simply click a task to view its details. Now, I can no longer click on the name of the card (on list view is all I have), I need to move my mouse cursor to the right side of the screen and then click on a tiny post-it icon. And for some reason, the comments aren't even loading.
Please let us go back to the old Planner!
Old - and better - version:
New - and worse - version:
100% agree, losing the Board view with buckets in "Assigned to Me" (now "My Tasks") is has absolutely killed the usefulness of this app. Much harder to view and prioritise my workload quickly. Recently moved the whole company over to Planner from Trello. Wish we hadn't.
