Subtasks - What level is needed?
My company is looking into utilizing our Planner so that multiple people have access to the same plan, but for the team to create subtasks we have to purchase premium plans. What level (1, 3 or 5) is needed to create a subtask? The breakdown found https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/planner/microsoft-planner-plans-and-pricing does not specify subtasks.

The ability to create and manage subtasks is part of the new Planner experience that’s rolling out under the Planner Premium (previously called “Project for the web”) tier. So, to use true subtasks, where you can break a main task into smaller, trackable parts with dependencies, you’ll need at least the Planner Premium (Project Plan 3) license. Plan 1 gives you basic task management, while Plan 3 (and Plan 5) include the advanced scheduling, dependencies, and hierarchy features. If your team only needs simple checklists under tasks, you can still use those in the free version, but for real “subtask” functionality, Plan 3 is the one to go with.
