Is there no way to 'Group by Bucket' in 'My Tasks' ?
When I go to the 'My tasks' section, I don't seem to be able to group by bucket. What is the point of having buckets if I can't sort my tasks by bucket? I don't want to sift through dozens of my colleague's tasks just to find mine, that is the point of having the 'My tasks' section. As my Planner gets more and more tasks, I am finding it harder to manage.
Hi Tanya Denton - and I think Jason Drew means that to group by bucket he needs to use a different view such as the normal plan view - then sees all other tasks. This is good feedback and have you also added to Planner's UserVoice Jason? https://planner.uservoice.com/forums/330525-microsoft-planner-feedback-forum. You can filter on you as a user in the Plan view, this might be a workaround for now.

All my colleagues are complaining on the new MS Planner interface that does not allow users to group by buckets while viewing My Tasks.
I think updates should provide more freedom not limitations.
- Well, considering that you can have Tasks coming from several Planner Plans and that in each Plan you could have several different buckets I think it's ok not having the option to group by bucket

Sorry, but you might be the only one "Not" wanting this. Loosing the option to Group by bucket especially for "My tasks" has really screwed up my work with MS Planner making everything much harder...

jcgonzalezmartin Good point. I didn't consider the issue with multiple plans. It would be useful to have a 'My tasks' view for a specific plan then.

Jason Drew Are you sure the tasks you think are your colleagues are not tasks that are also assigned to you. I just checked mine and I only see tasks where I am one of the assign to users.

Brian-Smith I just realized that I was doing it wrong. I was clicking on my avatar next to 'Members' instead of actually clicking 'Filter'. If I filter for my user, I get the behavior I was hoping for!
My apologies!

Tanya Denton I see all tasks even if they are not assigned to me. The only way to see only tasks that are assigned to you is in the 'My tasks' section.
