Board View Missing for "My Tasks"
I would expect a product downgrade to be warned of more than once.
If its coming back next year, why stop it at all?
What is a 'tenant administrator'?
By tenant administrator I meant the person who administers your M365 system - the Global Administrator. The message center is also available to anyone who has Global Reader role. For details of the Message Center to Planner sync see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/Connectors/m365messagecenter/ I can understand your concerns at only getting one warning, but with dozens of new messages across all of the M365 products released every day, if we repeated them then this would increase the burden on the Global Administrator. By triaging these changes in Planner, and maybe assigning to other people who 'managed' the different applications this shares the load. The reason it was stopped was that we released a new UI for Planner and had to make decisions about what made it into the initial release. If we'd tried to fit everything in, then we wouldn't have anything to release - even early next year. The choice of which things made the cut we used usage data, and unfortunately it can be that a feature that may not be that heavily used globally, is critical to some customers. Again, my apologies for the inconvenience here.
We are an international organisation with offices in different countries and a good project planner app is essential to everything we do. We have used other planning apps in the past and "board view" is a basic feature in all of them. The reason we changed to MS Planner was its integration with other MS apps. The new MS version of Planner that lists tasks as an excel sheet is useless and cannot be used for project management purposes. We will now start looking at an alternative software platform for our organisation.
To give it its dues, the board feature still works in plans, just not in "My tasks"
This is true!, unfortunately we work out of 5 or 6 different plans with various tasks assigned to many different people in each plan in order to monitor stats on various streams. So to achieve the same outcome we would have to trawl through them all separately which is a bit time consuming but possibly necessary.
