Your engineers use Jira. Planner Premium doesn't.
Self-updating roadmaps
Microsoft 365 project management
The key differences that matter for your planning workflow.
Where the differences really show up in your daily workflow.
Planner Premium has no Jira integration at all. It is built exclusively for the Microsoft ecosystem: Teams, Outlook, SharePoint. If your engineers use Jira, you would need to migrate your entire development workflow to Microsoft or maintain two disconnected systems.
Taskstreamer is a Jira plugin. It reads your Jira issues, statuses, and fields directly. No sync jobs, no data mapping. When an engineer updates a story in Jira, your roadmap reflects it instantly. One source of truth, zero context switching.
Planner Premium supports dependencies and Gantt charts, but there is no automatic scheduling engine. When a task slips or priorities change, you manually adjust downstream dates. For a single project that is manageable. For a multi-team roadmap, it is a spreadsheet exercise.
Every change triggers instant recalculation. Reprioritize a feature, add a dependency, adjust team capacity. The entire multi-team roadmap resequences in milliseconds. No manual date shuffling. No stale roadmaps.
Designed for individual project teams. The Portfolios view (Plan 3+) offers a read-only rollup of multiple plans, showing percent complete and dates. There is no interactive cross-team planning. No PI Planning, no ART coordination, no cross-project dependency resolution.
Built for multi-team roadmaps from day one. Value Groups coordinate teams. The calculation engine handles cross-team dependencies. PI Planning views show sprint-level allocations across every team. Capacity is tracked and enforced.
Plan 3 at $30/user/month. Plan 5 at $55/user/month. The Copilot Project Manager agent, Microsoft's headline feature, requires an additional Microsoft 365 Copilot license. For 100 users on Plan 3 that is $36,000/year before Copilot. Plans cap at 3,000 tasks.
From €3/user/month on the Plugin tier. For 100 users that is €3,600/year. All features included. No tiered lockouts, no AI add-on fees.
