New planned has caused problems in our company. We have a business process managed by more than 300 users and we have lost following functionalities:

 

- Automation which links an specific Planner plan in Teams fails. It has worked for months.

Now graph documentation says: For Planner tabs, the teamsAppId is com.microsoft.teamspace.tab.planner. Configuration is not supported.

Now we have to do it manually and Teams does not have search tools because Planners belonging to a Teams work are unsorted and could potentially hold 1000 channels and its plans.

- I could select multiple task and assign them to a user. Now multiple selection of tasks has lost functionality.

So I am very disappointed about changes, which reduces functionality of last version. I have tested Planner Premium and it just looks like Project for the Web and I miss capabilities of look and feel of Planner in Board view.  So it is still far as an alternative.
