We just came across another limitation: It's not possible to assign more than 11 people to one planner task. (I know, it can be questioned if it makes sense to assign so many people to one task... but it makes sense in this case.) Has anybody else ever seen this limitation or does anybody know if this will be removed in the future?

Hello Clemens,
Same story on my side ! My customer manage tasks for a group of ~17 persons.
Currently, he cannot get over 11 assigned peoples for a single task.
Use Case : A task like "Please review and validate the document blablabla" can be assigned to more than 11 reviewer.
... Please expand this limit too ...

    I found another limitation...

    Checklist items cannot have more than 100 characters.

    Coming from Trello to Planner, I can certainly understand the frustration in this thread.

      Yeah, i have found checklist limitation very fast when started using Planner. I guess it is designed for "Get milk" type of checklists..

        Any work being done to improve performance with respect to scrolling through a plan with 50+ buckets all of which have from 1 - 9 tasks and each task has an average of five checklist items each and each task has two labels assigned - this is using the latest chrome browser on a machine with 32GB ram and 8 core processor and high end video card and 1 GB connection our network, scrolling perf is abysmal at times as is opening tasks. I usually have to wait for things to load and it will appear at times as if data has gone missing from the bucket only to appear after a minute or two of it being open.

        Anyone seeing this?
