Enterprise capability for Planner

Right now Planner is very limited as an enterprise solution. Every plan/project is in its own silo and one can't manage resources, tasks or projects outside of a small team. The following features would be a big step forward in terms of enterprise capability:

  • Resource management across multiple projects. As a minimum it should be possible to view the Assignments and Charts tabs across a whole group, not just a single plan. Similar for People and Goals tabs would also be useful.
  • Task dependencies between different projects
  • Task requests into a project, allowing outside the project team to make a request that the Project  Manager needs to accept
  • Allowing a task to be in more than one project (could be similar to the above)

 

Other items that would be helpful:

  • "Sticky" views, with the current state of filters, group by, zoom, date range etc retained between sessions
  • Bulk update of tasks
  • Moving tasks between projects
  • Keeping effort constant when duration of a task is changed
  • Allowing top-level tasks to connect to Goals

    In other words; we need a real substitute for the enterprise capabilities in Project Online. That is the one single hurdle standing in the way of users dropping Project Online and moving to the new Planner.
