Another great video, Amy. For cases where you have team members who span across multiple Projects, the ability to see all their assigned tasks is very important. And so in that case, Planner is a clear winner for this need. With Planner premium, it starts to provide more customizations. Although the latest release still leaves some key popular requirements to be desired, like saving views, but, I suppose, we can't have it all.
@@aashishsinghvi Thank you! The ability to see assigned Tasks in Planner is a huge benefit. Hopefully we see some additional features like Custom Views in the future 🤞🏻
I love your style and thorough comparison. This is exactly what I needed to learn more about as I decide which app to use. I’m going with Lists for my current project.
I am trying to figure out how to move away from 3rd party apps and rely on the O365 tools. I love how your structured this video...gives me a lot of insight that's easily understandable.
One thing I ran into, and I'm not sure if this is true for all organizations, is that I could not use Planner in a private Teams channel, only on a public one. I kind of want to narrow who in my umbrella team has to be bothered with notifications and things for a project that they don't have anything to do with.
@Office Skills with Amy! Excellent Video! At timestamp 6:35 Planner Cons # 2 of the planner. But it seems to me that limitation only applies to the template you selected earlier, and it is not a con that applies to all of Planner had you chosen not to use that template. Am I wrong in my thinking?
Thank you for the comment. For customizations, we are limited in this across all of the basic Planner Plan Templates. If you have Planner Premium then you can add additional fields and customize as needed.
Hi, does lists provide owner of list to control which column value can be updated by end users e.g. allow end user to update status or comment but not able change any other column value.
I am using List to document the individual tasks that come into my email to have some level of my productivity and verification of my accuracy. Do you think there is another option for this data keeping?
Thank you for the comment. If you are simply tracking small to-do tasks then it may be better to use Microsoft To-Do as this integrates well with emails and tasks (including Planner). BUT if you are keeping a record of tasks to show your workload and projects for a review at work to get a promotion then Lists could add more flexibility for you to add additional content to each item. I've done another video here on To-Do if you wanted to check it out: ruclips.net/video/oHfRr393Tgc/видео.html
Yeah if Lists integrated with Planner and Todo then it would be my fav task management solution. You can use Power Automate to create tasks for Lists but it is not straight forward and doesn't sync. It still has a lot of great functionality though!
trying to track all the employee education and certification. I do have MS form that employees fill out and have it integrate it to MS list via power automate. Then, i use PowerBI to visualize the data that response is automatically extracted in excel file. Is it possible to replace it to MS Planner? any pros and cons about planner?
I would say that your process here is good. This would be my suggestion, or if you wanted to eliminate forms and power automate then you could use the new form feature in List directly (I've heard more improvements coming this fall too as there are currently some limitations). You would still have to visualize in Power Bi My original video is here ruclips.net/video/TMk9bhqlNFk/видео.html I generally think data = lists and tasks = planner. With Planner you'd have to export your content to an Excel file and visualize there which may create unnecessary steps. I hope that this helps!
You are welcome! You can add the checklist items to Planner Task Cards which I think work great. Otherwise Planner Premium has more options but at an additional cost.
Thank you for the question! Yes it is possible but it will require some leg work. You would need to use Power Automate so it gets a bit tricky and it wouldn't sync between the two... But if you did want to implement something then it would be something along the lines of 'when an item is added to a sharepoint list' then 'post a message in a channel,' have the message start with ToDo and then 'when a post starts with ToDo, create a task.'
I love your content ❤. If you were in charge of managing the installation of security patches on servers for several clients and you needed: an online status of what was installed and generating reports via Power BI. What would you use: MS Planner or Lists? Would you use another Microsoft 365 tool? Thanks.
Thanks for the comment. If there are any particular features that you would like to see then please send Feedback to MS as well. The more people request the same features, the better! With that being said, with Planner, a lot of those cons are resolved in the Premium version. I have done another video here if you would like to check it out: ruclips.net/video/OM2dhspiet8/видео.htmlsi=m7T9XHOQNmW7Dtrw
Thank you for the comment :) In the video, I was using Planner for the Web. Planner in Teams has most of the features, but they are still rolling out new updates so I focused the video on Planner for the Web.
Hi there Amy, this was a very good video! There is way more to both than I was aware of. Microsoft should have you on the payroll! My setup, I have a few pc's, my main pc is dual boot win11 and Linux mint. Linux is running win10 in virtual machine. I mostly use Linux, but I like access to windows without reboot. When I get a chance, I like to test out the stuff from your videos, discovering my inner nerd. I like your videos much better than Kevin's cookie company! 😉❤
Thank you for the comment. To create dependencies in Planner, then you will need Planner Premium. There are a couple of ways to create dependencies in Lists which are sprinkled throughout this video. Hope that this helps!
🤩⭐ I would love to know which app you use and why, let me know in the comments below 🤩⭐

loved this video! So clear, easy to understand and particularly loved the side by side comparison.
Thank you so much, glad it was helpful 😊

Thank you! Good luck with your List (I have a couple of new List videos that may be helpful)!
I'm fascinated with your videos! They are detailing the important details and abundant current content. Thanks for this great work!
Thank you, appreciate it ☺️
the side by side comparison was a unique and helpful way to present this info. very helpful. Thank you

Great summary! I did not know list was this powerful.
Glad it was helpful!
Great vid!! It's too bad that Lists is missing key functionalities like integration
Yeah if Lists integrated with Planner and Todo then it would be my fav task management solution. You can use Power Automate to create tasks for Lists but it is not straight forward and doesn't sync. It still has a lot of great functionality though!
Whoa. Totally opened my eyes. Gotta come back to Lists in its current form. Much amazing!
Thank you for the comment! Good luck!

I enjoyed your video. It's dumbed down for people like me. Is there anyway to add sub tasks in planner for a main task
You are welcome! You can add the checklist items to Planner Task Cards which I think work great. Otherwise Planner Premium has more options but at an additional cost.
Great video, thanks for the in-depth comparison.
Thank you so much, happy that it helped 🤓
This video is so informative, Thank you! I'm wondering if there's a way to view Tasks in Lists like we do in Planner on Teams under "My Tasks".
