Planner vs To-Do
This thread has been viewed over 27,000 times.
MicrosoftHi all,
We recently held a few demos and breakout sessions at Ignite 2017. We are working with Planner on integration scenarios already and hope to release something for you soon :)
In the meantime, here's a link to our session at Ignite on this topic: https://myignite.microsoft.com/videos/53579
This looks fantastic and is the type of integration I've needed for years. The main flaw in the thinking appears to be that Planner tasks go into a single list in To-Do which is illogical as there needs to be a list for each plan. Without this I suspect you'll be overwhelmed with tasks in the My Planner list.
I think it would be more powerful with the option of choosing a list and integrating a #tag based on the plan.

Hey Patrick,
Would you mind sharing an example or two of what you envision? I want to make sure we understand your proposition :)
Best wishes,
Timo
- For example the Plan is named after a project number #12345
In To-Do there are only a few lists "Work" & "Personal" link Planner to one and in the To-Do title input #12345.
Having less lists in Wunderlist has been easier to manage and if a task from planner were to be populated in Wunderlist having it added and in the title #"ProjectNo" would allow the quick filter for those project related tasks. I can also see the desire other may have for linking a plan directly to a specific To-Do list but in my years of using wunderlist I found it better to simplify with less lists.
Also, as mentioned To-Do (Wunderlist) is a powerful personal task list while planner is for groups/teams. If it worked that it was the tasks assigned to you through planner that were put into your To-Do would be great.
