@v3ss0n@nivo0o0 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..
@deanbrady "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.
@v3ss0n Markdown support is an issue. Not sure why they skipped that. Cards can be moved as @Daylen 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.
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.
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.
@matsilva@nivo0o0 For organizations committed to Office 365, assuming they integrate it properly (Planner Tasks -> individuals' Outlook Tasks, e.g.) along with the OneDrive/O365 document sharing shown, it will be quite powerful. And I say that loving Trello but living in an Office 365 world at work.
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.
Looks like a typical microsoft stab at trying to create something that exists already but make it better only to fail massively. Looks like a clunky UX nightmare. Sorry MS but it is.
This is a great move. Given that Microsoft owns other tools that a lot of saas users use - MS suite - having something like this that sits right at the centre of it, makes sense to me.
