Teams + Planner can they replace the Sharepoint project site?
Dear All,
After a couple of weeks using Teams and Planner, I was wondering to replace the Project site Template by Teams and Planner Tools. What do you think about this decision? The tasks list...
It's getting better but I still don't think Planner is there yet. They really need to do something about the comments peice on each task not sending or going to the group mailbox. And also implement better archiving or tasks.
Yeah SharePoint is ugly, but the amount of functionality you can get out of the list(or task list) is unmatched. With Flow, and workflows, and alerts, you can basically build out any task/list to do whatever process you want. With planner your locked into it's basic functionality. Sure it's def. more visually appealing, but it's main function is for high level Task management IMO.
So really depends how in depth and how much your tasks change will depend on if it's viable. If you have alot of traffic and tasks changes/ assignments and processes tied to managing those tasks your still better off using SharePoint list for that. If it's high level , lower rate of change and more big picture management, Planner is really close, just stay away from using comments on cards unless you want e-mail mayhem and confusion to ensue :).
