Reporting is available for plans as well as premium plans (project). Data is stored in separate locations, so the approach for reporting will depend on what kinds of plans you're looking to build reports on.
- Premium plans (projects) are stored in Dataverse. If you're using Power BI, you can use the Dataverse connector to build reports on data in your environment. The free Power BI template can help you quickly get started.
- Basic plans are stored in Azure. You can query the data using our public Graph API. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/planner-overview?view=graph-rest-beta
- Administration Question: Are there plans (pun intended!) to add a Planner Admin Center in the same way there is a Teams Admin Center or SharePoint Admin Center??? We want more granular control over planner instances and features and policies! - Maria
- We are really struggling with managers assigning their team members tasks, and then then if the manager goes into the task - they want to mention the team member and they can't. The comment they put in there just comes back to themself via email vs going to the person the task is assigned to. What is the solve for this? Is @mention a feature that's coming soon?

Hi Crystal, the ability to @mention someone in the comments is a feature we're tracking our backlog. If you'd like to, you can also upvote the feature here: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/56452e81-90a3-ed11-a81b-002248519701
Andrew - what is the proposed workaround to get a comment from a manager back to the person the task is assigned to then? It can't be to send them an email or a teams message outside of the task.
- Goals look great and is there any overlap with Viva Goals?
- Is there an article that compares features of new Planner, Project for the Web & Project Online?
- Will new Planner support timelines from Project including dependencies? And, will that be a premium feature?
- NancyatMSFTHi Sandy! That's correct - the new Planner will support timelines and dependencies, and these would be premium features you could access through a Project license.
- When will the new Planner be rolled out to GCC?
- I would also like to know this so we can plan for the rollout!!
- It looks like "task history" is on the roadmap...don't see recycle bin...wonder if that will be part of the task history feature maybe? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Worldwide%20(Standard%20Multi-Tenant)&searchterms=186968
- Will there be a "trash can" or version history that allows tasks to be undeleted with the new updates?
- There's currently no recoverability story whatsoever; see here also: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/planner-events/the-new-microsoft-planner-meet-the-makers-and-learn-what-s/ec-p/4102511#M35
- This is very unfortunate and the reason we don't have a ton of people using Planner!!!
- YASSSSSS - please.
- We're heavy users of the Microsoft PMO Accelerator with Project for the Web. 1) What are the plans for integrating the functionality of the PMO Accelerator and the Resource Scheduling app into the new Project/Planner app? 2) What will happen to customizations we've deployed as custom solutions layered onto the PMO Accelerator/Project for the Web?
