I think it has a lot of potential. I personally use to for classes note-taking, and at work we use when we need to collaborate on the same documents, my department loves it ever since I showed it to them!
A consideration, particularly related to project management, is that in larger organisation, cross functional teams tend to work on 'configuration baselines' for example, v1.0 of the design, v2.0 etc If that design was implemented as a loop page, the design that you were developing against would become 'a moving target'. Though I guess if the design was implemented as a loop workspace with multiple baselined loop pages, that might work. Typically inter-operating teams needs to understand changes in order to assess any potential downstream impact, being able to change everything from everywhere on a whim could create chaos unless managed carefully. There is value, however, in always being able to 'see the latest'. I do genuinely believe there is a very positive part to play for loop within project management. Great video, as usual! I really like this 'I go to a conference, and bring you back the highlights' content!! You have a great skill of 'making it real' for your viewers. Thank you.
@@davidadams421 Thanks again David!
Love your videos mate. Very helpful. Cheers from down Under.
@@three3thou Thanks mate!
How can I get loop to organize notes and tasks for recurring meetings in a manageable way? I would really like to see all pending tasks from all meetings in a series in one view.
Very interesting 👍
Hello, you show the link with the normal MS Planner. Can Loop also be linked with the new Premium Planner?
@@michaelfreitter9803 As far as I am aware, the feature to “Copy link to Plan” isn’t yet available in the new Planner Premium.
Jonathan, sorry but this question has to do with a video you posted about two years ago. I followed your instructions on how to perform a backup from my laptop to an external ssd. I thought everything had gone well until I opened the file on the external ssd. It had formatted the transferred data into many folders and in a zip file format. This has made it difficult to locate the information that I want to open. What did I do wrong and how do I correct it. Thanks
What video?
You can still reply within the comments of the video you are referring to, comments on videos years since past still appear within his comments feed.
Why make mail for that loop if you can share it with Mickey? Or loop doesn't support sharing?
Yes, that’s true. You can share the whole workspace or a page with Mickey - or just a small part of it, the loop component.
This is so fascinating. Microsoft really have not done a great job of actually explaining these things to the public. This is not quite ready for total implementation, but I think it will be brilliant if they can trim the fat off everything that currently has doubled functionality.
It seems like Loop at the moment is an ad hoc solution to unifying the old Planner/new Planner/To Do/Outlook/Teams/Whiteboard/etc, but it doesn’t seem like anything was designed with Loop in mind originally. Thus the competing and redundant features.
They also saw Notion impinging on their market share and decided to 'nip that one in the bud'! Poor Notion...
I love Notion and can't wait to switch to Loop/Planner for work. The big hole preventing that is the ability to see a filterable view of ALL tasks for all assignees across all my Projects, Plans, or Loops. Have you seen any roadmaps that indicate this might be coming?
could you do that by having youself as an assignee across all those plans so you can view them in to do?
@@maccomplex I don't think I'd be able to filter based on "the other" assignee. So, no. Also, it's a bit of a hacky solution to something that should be much easier.
I use planner for work and the website planner does not have a search bar, but the planner in teams has a search bar. I have not tested with loop
I think Microsoft has Microsoft Project in mind for that capability.
So much similar to Craft Notes app. Hey MS…copied a lot from them, didn’t they? 😜
Which event have you attended?
It was the European Collaboration Summit in Wiesbaden.
@@bearded365guy nice! I went this week from Germany to Workplace Ninjas UK in Manchester. Great event, too!
@@der_klee I was going to visit the Manchester event but couldn’t make the time. Was it good?
@@bearded365guy I liked it! A lot of nice technical sessions about Conditional Access, Intune and Security. Unwille be at Pax8 Beyond Berlin and MSPGlobal in Barcelona. Maybe, we will meet some time and have a chat!
Why even use planner at this point?
@@robertpearson5069 It keeps all of your tasks from all MS 365 in one place.
➿ 👌 🔥 💯
I want to be excited for this, but Microsoft is too all over the place.
It looks like Microsoft don't have a coherent product vision for how their pletora of apps should integrate and where one ends and the other begins.
For me as a user there is too much overlap. Too many different places to check things and do things and manage things, all with a slightly different featureset that is doesn't integrate to the level I need it or want.
It's either that OR They have a coherent product vision, but fail to delivier
OR They are now making the moves to do so.
OR They are very unwilling to communicate that vision and how they want to get there.
Loops is promising in concept, but it's awfull that a Plan that is connected to Loops, can't be connected to Planner Premium or to The Planner in Teams.
Little things like that accumulate and get me really iffy.
But as companies have mass licenses for Office 365 products, in many cases I'm kind of forced to make it work as I want my teams to collaborate.
@@inajosmood I don’t disagree. I think there are too many new products that aren’t finished yet.
great video, ive noticed premium plan dont appear in the planner web tasks.office.com, mmm wondering how we link plan to loop when its a premium plan
