Using Planner to organise people instead of tasks

Just wondering if anyone has successfully used Planner to organise people instead of Tasks. The scenario is that we'd like to track where everyone is and when each person will become free to move to another project. I know there are probably third party solutions out there but let's try use what we have.

So Buckets become Team/Project names and team members replace tasks in each bucket. We can then track where everyone is, their role and skills, use Start and Due dates for assignment timeline, checklist for tracking tasks like onboarding etc. 

Has anyone tried this yet!
