Looks like the Assigned to Me feature is now on the development list. A planned release of August. Great Microsoft Project Team ! Please include some grouping information like Sprint, Bucket.
Now, the hope is it is useful for 365 users, guests, etc. Basically all assignees. View-only is better than nothing, but basic user interaction (comments, status) is standard on popular alternatives. I'd love to see this done well as groups are silo'ing themselves into Planner, Project, Lists, etc. without a good integrated solution today.
Another hope is an improved Timeline/Gantt view. OpenProject has one of the best I've used. You can save lists with filters, sorting, formatting, etc., and choose how the Gantt shows that data to the right (left, right, and far right fields). I'm sure there are other good designs out there, but the point is that the timeline view is important for sharing information and the view we have today is lacking in that department and ready to advance.
Some good features in the works.
