@nivo0o0 but i still think they should make it free if they want to compete trello. and may be installable version of enterprise.
@aashishpatil @nivo0o0 I c with all those O365 account hacks , leaks , and exploits , they still pay for it.
Clearly something Microsoft needed in their Office suite which is trying to maintain it's powerhouse status.
The ability to drill down and view board-by-column, board-by-person, tasks-by-person really quickly makes this useful. Excited to try it out.
Doesn't seem to have anything that Asana/Trello doesn't have. Anyone tried this out yet?
I get the MSFT & O365 hate, but some people are restricted by corporate governance policies and are not allowed to use Trello and Asana (tiny violin). I still need a project mgmt tool, or a Trello-like desktop app in my workflow so if this is all ya girl gets, she will take it.
This looks interesting, however, knowing the length of Microsoft roll-outs, it'll be a few months before I get to play with it.
@frassmith The odd thing is that I found mentions of this from months ago.. not sure why it was not announced more earlier..
Struggling to figure out why the $5/Mo/User has more features than the $8.25/Mo/User? Am I missing something? https://skcript.allt.in/m/964eee...
@imswaathik The $5/month plan doesn't include full Office on PC/Mac with apps for tablets and phones, only Office Online.
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.
I received an ugly popup survey immediately on the landing page. That is so Microsoft...

@gollyjer 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.
@hustlinhack The product name already implies clunky - "Microsoft" Planner
@hustlinhack made by Microsoft! I think these tools are meant to appeal to people who aren't comfortable going outside of their known tech brands.
@hustlinhack speaking of clunky, Ninjality could use a better font for the front cover.
I think this is a great move buy Microsoft... and surprisingly from the video overview don't hate it.
@davidcreates maybe, but MS could have let Trello stay freemium and get an awesome product (similar to what they did with Wunderlist etc)
it would be great to see future fight between Trello, google data studio and Microsoft planner.
People use trello because it is fun. Design is very easy to use and atmosphere is `fun` .
@weiluenhuang fun in my case means easy , intuitive to use . Current planner version is lacking that.
