What's happening with Tasks?

We're hearing lots of new features for the Modern pages, but nothing about the Tasks app. Given that it's a tool for tracking projects, that's a pretty major feature being overlooked by MS.

 

Does anyone know if there's a plan for Tasks? The app is still available, but it's only in the Classic view. 

 

Any insight would be much appreciated.

  • Indeed they showed at Ignite a new Planner WebPart coming to SPO. By the way, Microsoft is in the process of modernizing all available list types but the process will take some time

        Soooo happy to hear that the Task list type has a future. Planner is a good tool, but it's just one of several valid project management methodologies, and doesn't accomplish some of the things the Task list can.
