While all of these "when will we get X feature" comments are great, what I'm wondering is: None of these are new requests. People have been asking for years. They feel unheard.

I had very high hopes for the relaunch of Planner, but feel like there was a big opportunity missed. It feels like lipstick on a pig. And a money grab with most of the focus being on Planner "Premium". I'm imagining much of this presentation will feel that way too.

But it's not too late. This thing can be great. And I would gladly be willing to blaze that trail with you all.

So all of this for my question: Will we see meaningful change in the base level of Planner in the next 6 months? No, not on the integration with Pftw. Actual features people have been asking for. Something that prevents people from going to something like Asana or Monday and working around the fact that those tools aren't integrated as well, but are far better project management tools.

Gold star if you give a real, non-political kind of answer. We all know MS has the ability to do this. But should we get our hopes up?
