Great domain planning Microsoft

Why?

Microsoft, what on fucking earth are you doing?

How could you think this is a good idea —

https://tasks.microsoft.com → Outlook

https://tasks.office.com → Planner

Picture it:

“We’re really aligning the Tasks strategy under a unified vision of cross-platform productivity.”

“Great! So… two separate domains?”

“Exactly.”

Dozens of PMs, architects, designers, and engineers probably sat in Teams calls nodding at slides with flowcharts explaining why the Outlook Tasks experience needed to live under microsoft.com while Planner Tasks deserved its own shiny office.com home. Because, you know, user clarity.

Meanwhile every DevOps person on earth is just trying to figure out why half their integrations break depending on which URL someone fat-fingered into a webhook.

Somewhere there’s a PowerPoint deck titled “Unifying the Task Experience” that’s been in circulation since 2018.
