When will Planner be available for Government O365 subscriptions?
- It's been a long time coming, but Planner is now officially launched in GCC and GCCHigh: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Planner-Blog/Microsoft-Planner-is-now-available-in-Microsoft-s-cloud/ba-p/309947
I can see forms in settings and add ins, and it's enabled. I can see planner in settings and add ins too, but when I select it, the blade just shows an error: "unable to retrieve settings". Forms and Planner show up in the licensing, and they were both enabled for me. But forms.microsoft.com goes to an error that says "your account is not enabled for microsoft forms" and tasks.microsoft.com just gives the same old error about still setting things up.
Same here. I'll plan on checking back on December 9th when it is supposed to be completed.

Not worried about the 1-3 date, I just hope this one is more rooted in reality. It is just difficult when your users are looking forward to something and the date keeps moving....
Agreed. Mine is working now (with the functionality previously described - the hub is not integrated). So it looks like they are continuing the rollout. But I'm still concerned about features and fixes going to GCC and the impact that they (or the lack of them for long periods of time) will have on our user experience.

Hi all,
I am not sure about other organizations, but it's worth noting that my organization can at least sign into tasks.office.com and associated Planner with existing Groups. I believe the updated timeline has to do with the fact that the App Launcher isn't present in the application yet. If you log into Planner, it's almost as if you are on an island, unable to jump back to any other Office 365 services. The suite bar actually looks like the "Guest" suite bar that shows up if you log into an O365 tenant as a guest.
The 1/3 date is honestly a few days later than the 12/30 date they had previously listed, so I am personally not too worried about that shift, I just hope that on 1/3 the service is accessible, has the app launcher and more O365 integration. The service doesn't have the SPO and Teams integration yet as well (although I hear the latter is actively being worked on and should be "soon").
Now it looks like it is delayed again until January 3, 2019.
Planner for GCC organizations started rolling out on November 30, 2018. Users will have the ability to begin using Planner via the App Launcher starting January 3, 2019.
It's pretty sneaky that they simply edited the original message in the message center instead of sending out a new one.
First they said it would be here in November. Then they changed it to early December. Then they updated the road map to indicate December 2018. Now, its January 2019.
So the settings are in our Admin Center but still no access to the pages 😒
Not sure about the rest of you, but I would sure appreciate a little transparency into the approval/accreditation process. Knowing which body is done and which are still in process would at least give me some satisfaction. Plus, you never know; maybe someone in the group works for or is otherwise connected to the group that is slowing things down and could positively impact the process. Optimism to be sure, but it could be worth a shot.
