Manage multiple plans effortlessly with the new Portfolios feature in Microsoft Planner

Fully agree. I expected more features with the additional portfolio option, but it's quite limited. Would like to see more features in light on merging with project, for better visibility of portfolio management, with some dashboards tracking things like task status in charts, akin to how you can do similar for development work in Azure Devops. 

For managing multiple concurrent projects effectively it's not clear the value this has over other project management apps. You also end up losing a lot of features when upgrading plans from Standard to Premium, like checkboxes on cards and comment sections. Losing features for a "Premium" plan makes no sense
