Creating groups in Planner
I lead a team of 20 who each partner with 5 other people on external teams (to us but still internal to the company). I have been using the planner to give each 1:5 ratio group a single place to track status on tasks. However, every time I want to make a new group to add to the planner, I have to request it via microsoft. Our IT can't get around that. It takes weeks for my group requests to be approved and really ties up onboarding. Is there a way around this? Or any other way that I could get the same result minus the hectic waiting for groups to be granted access?

Not sure of your situation, however what you describe isn't normal. Your company should have complete control of group creation - nothing about that should rely on MS. Maybe you have to get additional user licensing, and that's what the wait is for.
