I have questions related to personal plans in New planner. Hope you can throw some light in to these questions? 1. Does personal plan is enabled by default in the new planner? 2. Where is the data stored related to personal planner (in Azure? similar to planner in teams) 3. when is the personal plan gets deleted? (e.g when user leaves the organization or the creator of the plan deletes the plan)? 4. is it possible to share the personal plan to multiple users, if so how does the deletion process kicks off? 5. Does the personal planner supports ediscovery? 6. Is it possible to switch of the personal planner? Thank you!

    Hi Sathyanarayanan 1) yes 2) if you created a list in our To Do apps, technically the storage will be To Do's storage (Exchange), if you created the plan in new Planner, storage is the same as all other Planner plans 3) user deletes, user leaves org 4) if you share a personal plan in new Planner (created in Planner) it becomes an M365 group-based plan. 5) not at this time but this is on our radar, keep an eye on our Planner blogs for new info 6) can you clarify what you mean? thanks for the questions!

      Luke-PlannerPM How does your #4 answer work if Admins have restricted who can create Groups? We have purposely limited who can create Groups to prevent users from creating Redundant / Duplicate Teams when originally rolled out Teams. As described in the MS Article here

      Does the backend service workflow do this as a privileged task or does it assume the user Sharing the Personal Plan has the permission to create M365 groups? or does it simply ignore the restriction?

       

      There has been a longstanding confusion on my part around the Personal Plans based on Rosters and users only being able to create them via Graph. It seems that earlier guidance was wrong. We have people creating Project Plans that are not mapped to groups and they no longer work here.  Management of orphaned plans is becoming overwhelming. This getting complicated for me to follow. I believe that the terms "Project Plans" versus "Planner Plans" is part of the issue, especially when many articles talk about merging features between them.
