New Office 365 Group not shown when creating new Planner Plan
Our organization created a new Private Office 365 Group (not a Team) but when creating a new Planner Plan this group is not shown as an option to assign the Plan to. We've created Private O365 Groups previously that are not Teams and were able to create new Plans associated to those teams. What would be different or what other settings have limited this group from showing up?Enterprise resource management and allocation in Plan 5
Hi, In the Compare work management offerings page which compare Planner/Project Plans 1, 3 & 5, it states that the Plan 5 includes Enterprise resource management and allocation capability. I'm struggling to locate information what are the specific extra features come with this capability... I have Plan 3 now and since there is no trial version for Plan 5, I'll be glad to get this information before deciding if it worth investing in a Plan 5 license. Can you elaborate what are these features which are unique to Plan 5 in general and specifically to the enterprise resource mgmt part? If possible, also please provide some examples of screenshots. Thanks.Microsoft Planner @Mention and Comment Notification in Microsoft Teams - NEW VERSION
Hi Planner Community, Thank you for the overwhelming support for my original post last year on how to @mention someone within the Microsoft Planner community and have a message automatically emailed to them. I'm excited to share that I've completely redesigned and updated the solution to now support the new Microsoft Teams Planner and remove the issues some users found with setting up the solution. Additionally, the notification is now an adaptive card within the Microsoft Teams chat to the user you @mentioned in the Microsoft Planner comment. Screenshot example above shows a comment posted by me in a Microsoft Planner task where I’ve @mentioned David at the end of the message. Screenshot example above shows the comment posted by me in Planner being automatically sent to David (thanks to the @mention in the comment) on Microsoft Teams. Allowing David to reply in either the traditional Planner or new Teams Planner. Attached is a zip file containing the Microsoft Power Automate solution, along with a detailed walkthrough to help you set it up. Enjoy! If you download the solution, all I ask is that you please give this post a thumbs up. Thanks, everyone! Matthew Davis No More Bad Monday
Conversations in new planner - did anyone get it to work?
Hi In the new planner premium version, have anyone got the conversation field to work within a task ? The link you find there now links to MS forum "Use the Project or Roadmap app in Teams" but is is for the old ms projects and to "add this plan to a channel" is now working at all. The old planner, not premium, had the conversation field working fine...
"Read Only" Error for Existing Premium Board showing as converting to Prem
We have a 2 Planner Premium boards that continue to give an error message within the TEAMs channel as "This plan is being converted to premium. You can view it now, and come back later to edit it." It is saved as a shortcut at the top of the channel, this way message within the card can be posted. A few problems with the ERROR: The Board was converted to Premium months ago. It has remained in this status for days now, when we originally converted it took 5 mins. When searching, Planner now shows multiple versions of this board. Trying to determine if this is a glitch in the matrix or potentially a user issue. Since we can not validate the history on an entire board, thought is may be an output due to the many changes taking place in Prem. We resolved by removing from Teams and then adding a duplicate version and it seems to work, for now.
Is Planner in Beta testing?
Hi all I've been using Planner for a few weeks, and the KANBAN style 'Board' is FANTASTIC for a particular part of our work, that involves managing complex work packets through our process. I've also browsed this forum a few times, and we have access to the premium Planner version, but I've found the basic has features that premium doesn't. I'm evaluating Planner for use in our dept and organisation, and I'm not sure how stable it will be if we commit to using it right now. The posts on this forum show that features come and go, and reliability is not always good. I'm realistic and dont expect it to be perfect, but there is a minimum level required for us to commit and rely on it. What should people expect over the next few mths and yrs? I've read that there is a "Roadmap", but is that also something that could be scrapped/re-written? What is the level of Microsoft's commitment to Planner, and that "Roadmap"? We want to use it for full project Gantts, not just the KANBAN style 'Board' I mentioned above. But it seems that "Project Online" and the desktop MS Project, are the only way right now for a reliable system for managing multiple projects that have fairly substantial Gantts? Even though Planner is not a new thing, its appears to not have moved far down the development path? Kind regards
