My issue was when I created a Group I couldn't find a way to create a plan within it that uses the Planner app. It's possible (in fact likely) that there is a way but it wasn't obvious and I spent quite a while looking.
I've now given up and created a new Team in Teams, I have no problem adding a new Planner plan here. I don't really need the functionality in Teams as this is a (probably) temporary storage location for myself and a (co-located) colleague to use to store documents at the start of our involvement in an existing programme before we have access to their resources. A Group would have sufficed.

Dean_Gross Is there a way to add an existing Planner board to a "group"?
I am trying to link this existing Planner board to an existing Teams channel. When I choose to add "Tasks by Planner" inside Teams, it only sees the original Planner board within "Use an existing plan from this team". The new one is for a new project for the same Team. I get the impression if the Planner board isnt a part of this Group channel then it will not appear in the list of existing plans.
It may be important to share our Office365 accounts are Microsoft On.Premise type, so I don't believe I have a Sharepoint site. Also, not an IT person.
