Event details
The features users want the most are the same Planner improvements that have been requested for the past several years: At-mentioning in comments, Task dependencies, Reminder date/times (like ToDo offered), Notifications in the tool vs. email only, Checklist item assignments/due dates, Manager oversight to tasks for individuals, Roles in Planner that diversify what various users can do in the Plan, recycle bin, etc. We see these questions in the posts below, but it feels like these core functionality items are being ignored in lieu of Copilot and Premium licenses.
Agreed. I've started a new job that only uses Microsoft products and we need a task/small projects manager. I was going to start using the Lists app because its functions are more what my team needs, even if it means I need to spend more time building it out on the front end. I was excited to see that Planner was getting an update and so I've been holding off on Lists and waiting to see if they'd be incorporating the Lists functions, but so far, I'm not seeing the draw to Planner. Seems like Lists is still the better option... (and it's still not exactly what I need, but given the Microsoft options)
