RobOK Can you let me know what features you are looking for in Planner in order to use it?

Would love for it to integrate with Project Online.

      That works nicely for the person to whom tasks are assigned, but I'd like to be able to see Planner task assignments included in the Project Online Resource assignments view as well so I can get a sense of the entirety of their workload.

        Sure project online would be a great integration.

         

        For Microsoft however, I think the highest priority would be to integrate it into the Flow/PowerApps ecosystem. Seems like that is really cruicial and they are integrating PowerBI, Dynamics365 into these as well, becomes really powerful and exciting.

         

        Of course Microsoft HAS built an integration/connection for a task manager into their Flow/PowerApps ecosystem. However, they did not decide to integrate Planner but rather Todoist.

         

        I will not elaborate with my personal views on this, but this is just cold facts. I think it is important for those who evaluate Planner (and the larger O365 ecosystem) to know this.
