Calendar view missing from "My task"
Our organization has some of the same issues / concerns, especially around the Hub and removing the ability to create a new group when copying a plan.
Why remove the one dashboard ("Hub") that provided a simple visual status of all plans in one location?
And, Copy Plan no longer has an option to create a new group? What?! Now, I have to create the group separately (I.e. in M365 Admin Center) then return to Planner and select the group? Why remove the ability to create a new group, which ADDS steps to the process? Inconvenient. Bad UX.
Candidly, these changes baffle me.
Microsoft Planner product team: Unless I missed something and these features still exist, please provide insight and/or guidance on how we can address or solution the issues. Is the Hub coming back in the future? Or, can we get this data in Power BI, etc.? When copying a plan, is the ability to create a new group from directly within Planner returning in the future?
More importantly, please provide the justification to your customers on why these decisions were made? Transparency is good. Communication can provide clarity.
Exactly, it is unbelievable. Unfortunately, I expected better. Hopefully, they clean it up pretty quickly.
It makes me sad, all the work by the users building out their templates, etc., and commitment to the platform, "*poof" gone....
Thats why our organization would not consider using Planner as a primary app. Microsoft changes things just as soon as you get processes in place and running. You end up having to reinvent the wheel every few months
Just leave well enough alone
