Orchestrating human-AI collaboration in Microsoft Planner
Can you clarify what license is needed for the project manager agent? I am in the US and it is nearly April and I do not see this. I have M365 Business Premium + copilot license + planner plan 1.
Hi TexmexDaddy It is a premium feature and applies to premium plans - so requires a Planner Plan 3 or 5 license.

Thanks Brian - Is there somewhere either in this video or other documentation that explicitly states this? I've just not seen anything anywhere that actually states what the prereqs are. And technically, Planner Plan 1 is a premium plan. That's documented in several places. Like here for example: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/microsoft-planner-premium-vs-basic-whats-difference-projectmadeeasy-ae32c#:~:text=Basic%3A%20Included%20in%20Office%20365,costing%2C%20and%20Copilot%20in%20Planner. HowardCrow can you shed any light on this question?

Correct that Plan 1 can create premium plans, but there are various levels of 'premium' features too. The only place I can find it (and you are right, neither this video or other Planner blogs seem to mention this), is https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/planner/microsoft-planner-plans-and-pricing where Plan 3 includes Microsoft 365 Copilot in Planner (preview). It also mentions "While final pricing for Microsoft 365 Copilot in Planner has not been announced, users with a Planner and Project Plan 3 or Planner and Project Plan 5 license will be able to preview Microsoft 365 Copilot in Planner capabilities once it is rolled out to their organization."

I have Copilot in my Planner environment. I'm looking at the icon in my Planner view as we speak. So unfortunately, it just adds to my confusion.
