Looks like a "clunkier" version of Trello.
The product name already implies clunky - "Microsoft" Planner
so true :P
made by Microsoft! I think these tools are meant to appeal to people who aren't comfortable going outside of their known tech brands.
I think it looks way cleaner and more useful than Trello!
have to use office 365 to use it though. No thanks.
does it have a mobile app for my Zune
ahah! :)
Asana and Trello must have millions of users, but if Microsoft approaches the implementations correctly they could pretty quickly surpass that.
but Trello is free. this one is not.
but Trello is free. this one is not.
businesses are used to paying Microsoft lots of money
but i still think they should make it free if they want to compete trello. and may be installable version of enterprise.
If its bundled as part of O365, it will be as good as free because businesses already pay for O365. It increases the value prop for O365 package.
I've been playing with it for a week. I'm a heavy ASANA user, but we've started to use O365 at work and if this integrates well, it could be useful. So far, I'm not super impressed. Limited features and the connection to OneDrive, OneNote etc is clunky. Like many MS things, it seems like groups up in Redmond don't talk to each other to create a seamless user experience. I'll keep poking at it..
"I'm not super impressed".. I figured as much. All I saw was a bunch of user experience improvement without real improvements adding value to a planner.
I received an ugly popup survey immediately on the landing page. That is so Microsoft...
That's so... almost every single website I visit these days. :-)
fair enough. Ha Ha ;-) I went to the trello.com site to confirm. No popup that looks like it was designed on a Windows XP machine.
Here's the video overview:
haha there was totally a typo in that video! "registartion" smh

Doesn't seem to have anything that Asana/Trello doesn't have. Anyone tried this out yet?
Feels like a massive test! :) Not yet...
The moment the video said "Office 365", I exited. Good luck competing with Basecamp, Trello and Asana.
If they execute well, it will not be that difficult. Microsoft have more O365 users than Basecamp, Trello and Asana combined.
Tested planner. Quite horrible compare to trello. - No Markdown Support - Cannot copy cards ?? - Can't move Cards across board , REALLY?? - Editing cards is clunky - Bloats that nobody gonna use..
You can move cards between boards. Feedback can be shared on UserVoice ()
Markdown support is an issue. Not sure why they skipped that. Cards can be moved as mentioned. I didn't find editing the cards all that clunky although they should allow you to expand the card when creating it to get the full UI. "IF" they can make sure the connection with OneNote, Delve, OneDrive is seamless, then this could grow into something decent. I've been using ASANA since it launched and it was a little light in the features then. Hard to compare products that have been on the market for a while with something right out of the garage. Time will tell.
This is obviously not the MS market. So much hate here without trying the product. For those that have tried it: is this a clone or are they innovating yet? With MS' recent acquisitions, it seems like they have the potential to release some really cool stuff to bring Enterprise up to date with the modern individual tools. While I left Enterprise World, I wish them the best of luck with their adoption rates and actual usage rates.
please try it out too.
