Planner feature progress?

I was very excited to see a "light" project management tool from Microsoft and I like that they are pushing out minimal products. I have to say that I was hoping for faster product evolution. I don't...

    Thank you everyone for your feedback and interest!

     

    I can reassure you that we hear your feedback and are actively working to develop and ship features that you have mentioned here and on UserVoice. We are also working on making Planner a more beautiful and seamless experience across O365 workloads.

     

    I am presenting the latest developments for Planner and the updated roadmap at Ignite Australia on February 15, and the session content will be publically available shortly thereafter. Please continue to give feedback here and UserVoice, as I promise you we all see it!

    We have been "frozen" by the release of Planner. We had been mid-way into an evaluaiton of SmartSheet, which is great in some ways but maybe overly complicated, and put that on hold with the prospects of Planner. Alas, it is so slow coming. I am thinking to pick up Asana or maybe other task tools that plugin to Outlook. We are not particularly looking for Trello-like experience, more like a Basecamp which I don't know if Planner will ever get close.

     

    Open to thoughts,

    Rob.
