Teams, Projects, Planner and SharePoint

Hi there,

 

im not quite getting it:

I have created an Office365 Group, which leads to a Plan for that Group. So far so good.

When i set-up a Projectsite in SharePoint, there seems to be no way to connect the Planner plan to the Project-plan in the Teamsite.

Furthermore: When i expand the Group to a Team, Plans added in each Channel are neither visible in the Planner, nor on the Projectsite in SharePoint. Each Team get its own private Group-Site in SharePoint, that can not be customized.

 

Where is the connection? Groups have Teams, Teams are working on Projects, Projects have to be planned.

 

Currently im working on a Project in a Team with internal and external Users. Microsoft Teams is not ready to add externals to Teams (yet?). So when i want to work in a Team with my internal mates, the external guys wont see any plans, files and so on.

 

What am i missing? Can someone help me out?

 

Kind Regards Christian

    In about one or two weeks, you will be able to get a SharePoint Online App part in the Office Store. Are familiar with the iPlanner Pro Outlook Add-in for the Planner ? you will get the same functionality - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APEetvShr3A

    IMO Teams is not ready for real primetime use. You arent missing anything, how you described everything is exactly how everything works right now. I would stick completely with Groups at this point for your project.

        Hi there,

        i understand that neither Teams nor Planner is in a usable state because things are not brought together.

        eg. Tasks from Planner are neither shown in Outlook not in the mysite successor Delve (which does'nt show any Task). Even the SharePoint GroupSite (https://fqdn/sites/groupname) is kind of a Joke but that's off Topic.

         

        Thank you Brent and Juan Carlos for your Answers.

         

        I'll see how i will solve that.

         

        Best wishes for the Holidays from a disappointed Christian
