Planner feature progress?
Thank you everyone for your feedback and interest!
I can reassure you that we hear your feedback and are actively working to develop and ship features that you have mentioned here and on UserVoice. We are also working on making Planner a more beautiful and seamless experience across O365 workloads.
I am presenting the latest developments for Planner and the updated roadmap at Ignite Australia on February 15, and the session content will be publically available shortly thereafter. Please continue to give feedback here and UserVoice, as I promise you we all see it!
Dave Heller, hope you had nice presentation today at Microsoft Ignite AU. Can you post the roadmap slide/screenshot alone if possible?. The videos are not up in Channel 9. Much eager to know to the developments in Planner :).
MicrosoftThanks! The session went well :)
The session slides and audio will be available on the Channel 9 site in the upcoming days.
- Great!
- Thanks. Waiting eagerly to know the Planner roadmap.
We have been "frozen" by the release of Planner. We had been mid-way into an evaluaiton of SmartSheet, which is great in some ways but maybe overly complicated, and put that on hold with the prospects of Planner. Alas, it is so slow coming. I am thinking to pick up Asana or maybe other task tools that plugin to Outlook. We are not particularly looking for Trello-like experience, more like a Basecamp which I don't know if Planner will ever get close.
Open to thoughts,
Rob.

Hi Dave Heller, in the session recording there was a question about adding additional fields to Planner and the audio is not clear on that part, so I can't hear your answer. Can you post, if you have anything share on this?
- ...interesting: what about Planner templates? It's not mentioned in the Roadmap slides
During the session QA, there was a question on Templates, it will be available in Q3 or Q4. Seems templates is based on copy/paste of Plans.

It's not something on the roadmap for now, but I encourage you to submit/upvote it on UserVoice (planner.uservoice.com)
Dave Heller The issue with recommending that clients post suggestions in Uservoice is that *NOONE* from Microsoft appears to be monitoring or responding in the UserVoice area for Planner.
There's a few "we're looking into it" comments that are over a year old!
And HUNDREDS of messages from users asking for updates in the meantime.
And ZERO response from Microsoft.
And it's clear from the amount of spam that NO ONE is monitoring it or curating the responses.
Perhaps this is something your Product Management team could address.
The other teams seems to respond to and encourage user feedback in the UserVoice channel ... Your team seems to be pointing people there while all the while completely ignoring it.
So, What's the point of using UserVoice, then???
