Specifically the Kanban-style boards with buckets and cards. It makes planning and tracking very effortless. > > **Cons**: The Microsoft planner doesn't have the capability to manage complex projects and have less features as compared to the competitor tools which can manage highly complex project workflows. > > My experience with Microsoft Planner has been okay as I have always managed small projects through it. It is obviously very easy to integrate with Microsoft Teams and Outlook and it is very easy to begin working with it. ----- ### "MS Planner for tasks and assignments" — 5.0/5 > **Nazrin** | *August 18, 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: High organization and structure, being able to assign tasks to the entire team and filter them out based on assignment, date and other filters. > > **Cons**: Each task has only 20 subtasks, therefore it would be helpful is that number increased. If tasks grouped themselves automatically based on the deadline, it would be great. We are currently moving them up and down manually. ----- ### "Great for day to day task management" — 4.0/5 > **Karen** | *January 31, 2025* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use, and even my less-technical stakeholders are loving it\! It takes some new habits, so I've needed to remind people about using it, but once they get the reminder they seem to know what to do. It really helps keep everyone on the same page with respect to tasks. > > **Cons**: I like using it to assign tasks to my team members. Problem is, there isn't a way for me to easily see what has been assigned to a particular employee across all plans. I can see my own assignments from all plans, but I can't see the same thing for my direct report. This would be very helpful in managing workloads and having 1:1 discussions. > > Overall I really enjoy it. It is not as robust as Project of course, but for day to day projects and task assignment it is perfect. Not everyone can use Project, but I haven't found anyone who didn't like Planner. ----- ### "Microsoft planner" — 5.0/5 > **Vineet** | *January 21, 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 ----- ### "Great team tool" — 4.0/5 > **Léandre** | *March 27, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It makes it easy to track tasks from my project manager > > **Cons**: The interface is pretty stressfull for people not used to project management > > Pretty good, it helped me organize myself a lot. ----- Page: 1 / 13\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1010402/microsoft-planner?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1010402/microsoft-planner) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
