New Task Planner Experience in MS TEAMS is BAD

Agreed! The new "Task Planner" is absolute rubbish. The files won't open in the application--and the advice to "switch back to Classic" provides no improvement (besides "Classic" is sunsetting in July--so even if it was a fix, it wouldn't be in less than 2 months...) seriously who ever messed with Task Planner needs to be terminated immediately for gross incompetence.

I also think something has broken on the new Planner. Every time I click into it, it takes a while to refresh all my tasks (it used to be instantaneous). And more annoying, when it finally loads them all, it's in some inscrutable order. It does not retain the sorting by due date I've put on the screen; I have to re-sort it every single time. Who thought this was a good idea?

Also, the previous advice to switch back to classic Teams is also not good - classic Teams is now behaving the same way.

Agreed. We were looking forward to this upgrade and planned to move all staff over to it. Both UX and UI are borderline nonsensical. Either the product was pushed to public way too early or it's simply an awful product. We're cancelling our "Premium" licenses and exploring other products.

It is bad indeed. I've just started using it in anger as my team has all adopted it and as a result I'm angry.

The UI is inconsistent and dysfunctional. It breaks paradigms that have existed since Windows 95. e.g. why does the checkbox on the left of your list of tasks mark the task as complete, rather than acting as a multiple select tag like it has since forever? Why can I not drag and drop a task card to a pinned plan? I can double click a plan in "My Plans" and it takes me to that plan, but if I double click a task in "My Tasks", it just edits the name - I have to right click and do "open details" - basic stupid inconsistency.

In our pilot there are a dozen teams, and they've all created a plan called "Tasks" in one or more of their channels. I have tasks in several of those, so when I look at "My Tasks" I see a load of tasks assigned to me on different plans, in different teams, but I'm literally not given a clue that these are not all tasks on the same plan.

And yes, updates (e.g. creating a new plan) are laggy, like I should be grateful to sit there for minutes waiting for my plan to appear in a list so I can move tasks onto it.

Also I don't see how this is possible, but I can create plans, but I can't move any tasks to them (even tasks in another plan in the same team) and I can't delete the plans I created. This may just be a permissions problem on my tenant, but the move operation gives me an utterly useless cryptic error message so I really can't tell without getting a sysadmin involved.

I worry about the future if this is a sign of the competency of Microsoft's developers.
