Microsoft Planner is a simple visual way to organize teamwork and get work done together, with plans, boards and tasks all in one place.

If tasks grouped themselves automatically based on the deadline, it would be great. We are currently moving them up and down manually. ----- ### "A solid app that integrates well for my needs" — 4.0/5 > **Troy** | *30 April 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy and simple to use, interface is clean and easily move from one bucket to the next. > > **Cons**: Latest update has removed some useful features such as plan templates and the ability to copy labels onto another plan > > Overall it’s a nice planner tool. I just wish they would allow some template or copy paste features ----- ### "Good app, but it needs to improve" — 3.0/5 > **Sergio** | *28 February 2025* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: With Microsoft Planner you can have all your tasks organized and tracked properly. It's easy to use, and it's fully integrated with Microsoft Teams and M365 environment. > > **Cons**: From my point of view it's a little less complete than its competitors, like Trello. When I tried it, I missed some important features that I use a lot in Trello, although probably they will be added in the future (if they haven't already been added since I finished my tests long time ago). > > I think its strongest point is the integration within the M365 environment. Probably I'll give it a chance again in the future, to see how Microsoft has improved the application lately, and check if I finally could switch from Trello to Planner. ----- ### "Microsoft planner" — 5.0/5 > **Vineet** | *21 January 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use Microsoft Planner to assign, discuss any challenges and to finally make sure tasks are acomplished within set timelines > > **Cons**: It is an amazing software. No complaints at all. Although I wish i could have more options for charts and diagrams to explain difficult concepts to my team > > It is an amazing software to get your work and your teammorganized and working on the same page. It hleps you track progress amongst different team members ----- ### "Must have tool for Teams needing task management" — 5.0/5 > **Mark** | *13 December 2024* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great collaborative tool to manage tasks and workload across a team environment > > **Cons**: I wish there was more automation that could be configured without the need for the additional workflows tool within the MS Suite > > This tool has been a go-to for managing my teams tasks and workload. ----- Page: 1 / 13\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/397822/microsoft-planner?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/397822/microsoft-planner) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
