Increase the maximum number of Goals in Microsoft Planner Premium
Hi Microsoft Planner community,
In the new Microsoft Planner Premium, it seems that a plan can currently have a maximum of 10 Goals.
For our team, this limit is too low. We use Goals to structure our work around multiple sprint objectives, epics, deliverables, and larger initiatives. Since our Planner board supports several workstreams at the same time, 10 Goals is not sufficient for proper planning and reporting.
Could Microsoft please explain why the limit is set to 10 Goals?
And is there any possibility to increase this limit, for example to 30 Goals per plan?
This would make the Goals feature much more useful for teams that manage multiple initiatives, projects, or quarterly deliverables within one Planner Premium plan.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Marshall, if Planner Premium is currently enforcing a maximum of 10 goals per plan, there probably isn’t an admin-side setting to raise that limit today. For now, I’d work around it by splitting larger bodies of work across multiple plans, or by using buckets, labels, custom fields, or task groupings for the lower-level sprint objectives. That said, your use case makes sense, especially if your team is using Goals for structured delivery tracking rather than just high-level milestones. I’d definitely submit this through the Planner feedback channel, because it’s a practical scenario where the current cap can get in the way.
