NYC area Microsoft expert offers an overview of Microsoft Planner vs. Project: 5 key differences in 2024 to help business leaders find the right tool for their needs—in a new article from eMazzanti Technologies
HOBOKEN, N.J., April 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A new article by technology leader eMazzanti Technologies provides a comparison of two Microsoft offerings for project management: Microsoft Planner and Microsoft Project.
The informative article first discusses the new Microsoft Planner rolling out to Microsoft customers this spring.
Next, the author outlines five important ways Planner and Project differ and suggests ways that business leaders can determine the right fit for their project needs.
"The two tools differ in their target audience, their functionality, their purpose, reporting, and integration. The decision between Microsoft Planner and Microsoft Project comes down to the specific needs of the project and team," explained Jennifer Mazzanti, CEO, eMazzanti Technologies.
Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Microsoft Planner vs. Project: 5 Key Differences in 2024."
Target Audience and Use Cases
"The detailed approach available with Microsoft Project does a better job of handling complex projects that involve tracking intricate dependencies and costs. Project has a steeper learning curve, but it brings a more traditional project management experience."
Collaboration vs. Structured Project Management
"Planner was designed to drive collaboration, excelling at task management within Microsoft Teams. Team members work together in real time, updating statuses, sharing files, and communicating seamlessly within the app."
Basic Reporting vs. Advanced Analytics
"Microsoft Project delivers much more comprehensive options for reporting and analysis. Project managers can generate customized reports ranging from summary reports that contain high-level insights to detailed variance analysis and status reports. Supported by striking graphs and other visuals, these reports drive valuable insights."
Integration with Other Tools
"Microsoft Planner works seamlessly within Microsoft Teams alongside the other Office 365 applications. By providing a single view of task-related items across Microsoft 365, it offers a unified task management experience focused on collaboration."
Deciding Between Microsoft Planner vs. Project
The decision comes down to the specific needs of the project and team. An experienced Microsoft partner like eMazzanti Technologies can help business leaders determine the best tool and configure the software for optimal benefit.
