It's useful for simple planning and delegation of tasks and provides accessibility and visibility across a team - especially if your org is already integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem, and especially where leveraging Microsoft Teams. The interface is clean, modern and responsive; a constant flow of new features demonstrates that Microsoft is clearly invested in developing Planner into a more powerful and capable planning solution. > > **Cons**: My biggest issue with Planner is that it doesn't truly feel stable or truly standalone. It leans heavily into MS Teams and the web app rather than providing a dedicated app and the constant reworking of the tool over the past 2-3years (eg. blending Planner, Project and To-Do into one) has meant that a consistent experience has been neglected due to functions and layout constantly shifting and changing as more features and integrations make it into the development cycle. This ultimately leaves me constantly searching for buttons and settings that are dancing around a forever changing interface; what might look like progress on paper often leaves me feeling like I'm required to relearn the platform time and time again, usually becoming more confident and familiar just as a new release changes everything again. For this purpose alone I find Planner difficult to trust and ultimately lean towards other, free tools and solutions. > > Overall, my experience is of inconsistency and unreliability with Planner due to the chaotic changes and releases that seem to come every few months. Rather than being a familiar tool I can settle in to, interfacing with the app feels like a constant game of cat and mouse where I'm having to re-learn where functions and features are moved to in order to leverage its functionality in full. As such it feels vastly less attractive that other, simpler solutions, despite having far less functionality and their own flaws within corporate environments. ----- ### "A simple and nice to use tool." — 5.0/5 > **Emily** | *14 October 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use Microsoft Planner alongside other tools as it is much easier to access from my phone while out and about.
