Is there a way to see all project tasks assigned to a team member? Or is this functionality on the radar? I can see all my assigned tasks, and I can see tasks by person by project, but as a manager, I would like a way to see all tasks assigned to my team members across all of their projects/functional areas, so that we can quickly evaluate their current workload, reprioritize and assign new tasks accordingly. What I'm thinking is that there would be a filter option to see buckets by team member of their collective project tasks, like the view currently available right now by individual projects. Interested in the capability to overlay multiple projects. Thanks!

Just like to add my voice to the chorus. This is the one thing holding Planner back from being a useful task management tool for teams.

kendraweaver This needs to be implemented, I am running into the exact same issue. If they can use planner and ToDo to display "My Tasks" and "Assigned to Me", it can certainly be done as a filter so you can choose "Assinged To" would even be usefull to select empty for "Assigned To" to find all tasks that do not have an assignment. This is a "no brainer" how else can you implement this across the board and still manage your people?

kendraweaver This seems so simple, and so necessary. The software is obviously already there with "Assigned to Me" so why can't it have "Assigned to Anyone" or "Assigned to ....." select users. I think if everyone already on this chat as well as all new people finding this chat up voted this feature on MS website, it would get added as a feature quicker.https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/c0c66a6e-b644-ec11-a819-6045bd7aa48bLet's do it.

We also need this feature to in our company.I am going to build a simple web application which will provide a temporary solution for this problem.In a few weeks I will post an update here.I'm gonna use Spring Boot in combination with Vue.js and utilize the MS-Graph API.

kendraweaver Any updates on this, Microsoft? This question was asked years ago and the functionality is so simple and so useful. I've just landed in a place that uses Microsoft Planner and this glaring omission and a lack of other relatively simple features is driving me crazy. Might have to end up paying for a different task management app...

This feature is very useful. Does anyone know if this feature is in the works? Or do we have to look for a 3rd party app as suggested? Any recommendations for the 3rd-party app?

  You can try Apps4Pro Planner Manager.

Unfortunately, on last check, not out of the box apparently.

You can create a flow in PowerAutomate to read all tasks and then write it into something like an excel spreadsheet.

In our organisation, we use this to collate tasks across all plans assigned to a given user.
The flow needs to run on their M365 account as you cant do it for another user, if that makes sense.

kendraweaver Viewing or managing the tasks across multiple plans at once is not available in Planner. You need to use the third-party app to do this.

Only way to have the view you are requesting is through the Charts view in Planner

  Only per plan though, right? I don't see that capability/view for another team member across multiple projects.
