- When the Planner and Project integration happens, will Project tasks automatically be added to each users planner? Will the new Planner notify users when tasks are due and overdue? Lastly, will there be an option to add subtasks within an open task, or will it only be available through the Project "Grid" view?
- Assignments from premium plans (Projects) in the default Dataverse will show up in the users My Tasks and My Day as appropriate Bailey. Notifications will also be unified across the plans. I like the idea of being able to add subtasks from the task itself, rather than having to use the grid (which you need to do today) - be sure to give us that feedback over at https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/a1a93b69-2f1c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472 too so others can vote on it. Copilot will also be able to 'indent tasks' and I think some of these types of commands, which seem trivial, will soon become a common way of interacting with the plan - as they can be used regardless of the view you are in.
Will be able to customize the Gantt chart export? For example: - Ability to print the schedule in one page or select page size. - Customized fields and colors. Will we be able to mark tasks as deliverables or milestones to show them in the Timeline/Gantt chart? Thank you very much!
- Also Print a filtered Gantt chart, for example just for one resource.
- Milestones in project web can be created by setting the task duration to 0 days, this will display a diamond symbol on the timeline
- Is MSFT support team ready to provide support for the new Planner?
- I was too busy answering questions to watch the broadcast live Sam, but just catching up and saw Mark raise your question live! We absolutely are ready to support new Planner, and I'm one of the support team that work very closely with the team. Great to see a support question!

And you got a personal answer from Roberto 🙂
- How will plans work across tenants? - if I have my work plan, my plan as a guest in client 1 tenant, plan as guest in client 3 tenant.
- NancyatMSFTUsers will have access to the functionality dictated by their license - for guests, you can see the full list of capabilities based on license here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/let-guests-see-your-project-in-project-for-the-web-81e1c210-74b2-4711-98ab-dea58f1b566b For more info feel free to check our service description as well: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/project-online-service-description/project-web-service-description. I hope this helps!
Will New Planner roadmap merge with tables of Microsoft Loop?
- Roberto_BojorquezYes. It is already integrated with Loop Task List Component, and there is also Planner Component in the Loop app so you can take your Planner plans into Loop app.
- Hi Roberto, I know you can add previously created Planners to Loop as a component, but is there a way to do this vice versa? I created a task list in Loop and then opened in Planner. I maintain it in Loop still, but those tasks are not showing up in "My Plans" - I know they are showing up in "My Tasks" but not in the full list of Planner Plans which makes it an extra place I have to check when I'm looking at all of my projects each morning.
- I heard Roberto Bojorquez say that Microsoft 365 groups are needed to support Planner plans (around 5-10 minutes into the call). As far as I know, you can also create roster plans not associated with any team or group. What am I missing? Is that feature going away?
- Hi Christophe, you can have personal plans with no group, and you can create roster plans via API - and Loop also uses this concept. Groups are needed for some features such as comments - I'll review the context of Roberto's answer later and clarify if needed.
- I have new planner in teams but Tasks from premium plans are not appearing under my tasks and my day... seems its not working Deleted Need Help!!!
- Let's hope that ability comes with the new portfolio capabilities coming in September: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Worldwide%20(Standard%20Multi-Tenant)&searchterms=187140
- It is coming Samir, that part is still rolling out.
- Will it be coming before it rolls out to general availability in the next few weeks? I dread the calls from users when they see tasks not appearing where they expect it to.
What functionality does Planner have that Trello and Asana do not have?
- Trello just started charging for teams of more than 10. I like the ease of drag and drop or copyclip images in Trello. Also copy and paste entire lists of tasks straight from Excel to trello. I hope Planner adds these features.
- Is there going to be a way to view the total tasks assigned to a person across multiple projects? Will tasks assigned in project for the web flow over to Planner?
- For yourself you'd see these in My Tasks, but it sounds like you want to see other resources tasks? Keen to hear more on the scenario. Project for the web tasks from the default environment will flow into My Tasks too, in new Planner. Other environments coming later. (and even the default is still rolling out, so you might not see them yet).
- Hi Brian, exactly. I'm a project manager, so I create all the timelines in MS Project. I run multiple projects at the same time that utilize the same resources. I was thinking it could be an amazing tool if each resource could view all project tasks assigned to them in one central location, rather than clicking into each individual project. One of the pain points is constantly reminding people when things are upcoming or due.
- As a PM and manager, not being able to see all the tasks assigned to my team members, at least for plans and projects that I have access to, is a significant drawback of Planner.
- Will you ever expand beyond just "Groups" for shared projects? the group is great, but this silos visibility so that every person who just needs view access has to be a full team member of every team for every project - that's nuts in anything other than the smallest of organizations.
- Interesting to hear more of your thoughts on this over at https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/a1a93b69-2f1c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472 - the Planner feedback portal. We aren't a small organization, and as I work in support and also work very closely with the product groups and other support teams I'm in plenty of Teams, but it works pretty well for me.
