Microsoft Planner and Project: a look at what’s to come

Both the Planner and Projects + Roadmaps are underpowered, each with its own set of limitations. As for the Project, we have tried many times, but each time we just gave up.

We've decided to go with Planner and created a PBI relation, where we sample each data for changes. We've also developed a Flow parser, which scans checklist item for the date, so we know deltas for checklist items and can create gant ourselves:

- Kick-off of the project (10.11.2021)

So, instead of stuff like suggested files noone imo really asked for and is just taking valueable space in the interface and the section can't be even collapsed, what about the following?

- Why GraphAPI can't provide taks priority? It's just insane you can't get that to the PowerBI
- When are we going to be able to use mentions in terms of the comments?
- We don't want the checklist, attachement and project description displayed on the card being a mutually exclusive!
- I have read something about planned Comments rich-text improvements, including image. The plan to automatically add the images to the Attachements section, is a fatal mistake. That section should contain only a project acknowledget attachements, not a random screenshots etc. someone posts in terms of the Comments!
- We would like to have an ability to have a "referenced" tasks. Simply put - we would like some tasks to appear in multiple boards, without them being a copy, but just a reference.
- It would be nice if the Checklist items could have its own due date. We need those for the more granular notifications. We mostly use checklist as the project timeline. Eventually assigning a responsible person from the list of the Task memebers, would be also welcomed.
- When can we expect a timeline view for the Planner? Recent plan calendar view is mostly of no use.
