New Office 365 Group not shown when creating new Planner Plan
I found a possible solution in my development environment that when I added the Owner as a Member of the same Office 365 Group that the group appears while creating a new Plan in Planner. I'm not sure if this was intended by Microsoft a user has to be both Owner & Member of the same Group or if only members have the option of associating new Plans with the group. It was unclear in the documentation online.
Bill_Alexander This worked for me, i was already an owner of the o365 group but when trying to create a planner board to this existing group it did not show in the search box. I added myself as a member, waited a few mins and created a new planner and choose existing group and now the group was there. this is really weird.

darrennewberry For Microsoft Planner, you need to be a member of the Group. Group owners don't have versatile rights.

SanthoshB1 Yes, this worked for me as well.
