Event details
Join us for two special events where our Planner product team shares what is coming to the new Microsoft Planner.
In our Meet the Makers virtual event on April 3rd, leaders from the Planner product team will talk about the latest on the future of task and work management for Microsoft 365. They will explain how the new Microsoft Planner brings together the simplicity of Microsoft To Do, the collaboration of Microsoft Planner, the power of Microsoft Project for the web - with the intelligence of Microsoft Copilot - into a simple, familiar experience.
Our experts will showcase some of the key new capabilities and improvements of the new experience, including demonstrations on how to leverage Copilot in Planner to create plans, tasks, and goals and get Copilot to answer questions on progress, priorities, workload and more.
On April 4, we will host a special Ask Microsoft Anything (AMA). During the AMA session members of the Planner product team will answer questions directly from the community. This is a great opportunity to get answers to any questions you may have from the recent Meet the Makers event.

Here are answers to some commonly asked questions: https://aka.ms/newplannerfaq - Beth_P1230Iron ContributorIs the rollout user based or device/MAC? I have it on my personal device through work account but not on work device yet.
- Luke-PlannerPMFormer EmployeeHi Beth - is your work device a laptop/desktop or mobile device? Rollout should occur by tenant not device/MAC. Our mobile apps have not yet been converted to the new Planner.
- immrted1966Occasional ReaderI am really interested in Resource Management. I need a overall look at all production staff and what projects they are working on.
- Brian-SmithFormer EmployeeThe deeper resource management capabilities of Project for the web aren't exposed in new Planner at this point immrted1966 - this article will help you understand what is already available via the Power Apps interface https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/project-for-the-web/overview-universal-resource-scheduling
- FabianSchmidtCopper ContributorCan I use the new Planner without Teams? Given the changes to Teams license some organizations might want to use Planner without Teams.

For now you can do this from your Edge browser...first go to Planner for the Web:
- jacquesBrass ContributorAs of April 2024, new Planner is only available in Teams. Per AMA response, the Microsoft development teams is looking pushing out the new Planner into the Planner standalone app. Additionally, you can launch the Planner App via teams into it's own window by right-clicking on the Planner app icon in Teams and selecting "Open in new window"
- Ryan_OBrienOccasional ReaderI am still waiting for “Ability to see Project for the web tasks in My Tasks”
- Luke-PlannerPMFormer EmployeeThis is in the process of rolling out, keep an eye out this month for this to be enabled in your tenant.
- PeterLCopper ContributorHow long does it take to see assigned tasks from my plans in project for the web in planner - from Personal and Shared plans. Right now they are not showing up. Private preview?
- Luke-PlannerPMFormer EmployeeHi Peter - if you're asking if Project for the web or Planner Premium tasks show up in My tasks, this is in the process of rolling out, keep an eye out this month for this to be enabled in your tenant. LMK if I didn't understand your question completely, however.

- howkeCopper ContributorCan you talk about the future of portfolio management features in Planner / Project for the Web.
- dpettitt1Copper ContributorWhat will a GCC tenant see in terms of the rollout? In other words, will we lag behind the commercial tenant rollout?
