Thanks for all of the responses!
Here are a few answers to questions so far:
1. TIMELINE: As far as timeline, we're aiming for the beginning of next year (hopefully Q1) but will share out more information as we get closer. What we demo'd at Ignite this past week is real working code! chrisbuesold wroot VM_123
2. Integration with Azure Dev Ops: We don't have any integrations with Azure DevOps on our roadmap, but tasks from Azure DevOps have been a part of our ecosystem conversations! DWCraig
3. Integration with Microsoft Project: As far as integration with MS Project - the Project team is currently working on providing the ability to create a new project from a Planner plan. Check out more about the new Project for the Web here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Project-Blog/The-new-Project-is-rolling-out/ba-p/909721 rolandheller
4. Conversations around tasks: Today in Teams you can start a conversation about a (Planner) tab by clicking on the message icon in the upper right-hand corner, but there isn't a way to create a Teams channel conversation about a specific task. Is that what you're thinking of? Like I could choose a conversation from a plan to start a conversation about in the same channel? Ed Brown
5. Seeing personal tasks and work tasks in Tasks: It will only show To Do tasks from the work account that you're signed into Teams with. We don't have any plans to have a 'single pane' for your work AND personal accounts, but I will share that feedback with the team! rolandheller Freddy Grande
6. Issue with description field: We haven't released this new app yet, so I don't believe this announcement is connected with that issue. Are you still seeing this issue? Cheryl Robbins
