A few questions I hope will be discussed:
- Are there any plans to allow private boards within a group?
Currently, we create a new group every time a team needs a private board amongst themselves. This is very cumbersome.
- Any thoughts of including subtasks within Planner (not Planner Premium)?
Subtasks seem like a very basic feature that shouldn't require an additional cost to use. Instead, my hope is Planner Premium would provide richer tools for managing more complex, cross-team and strategic projects extending what MS Project has done in the past. Subtasks should not be considered a premium feature in my opinion.
- Any thoughts on a more streamlined intake form?
Many teams want an intake form for employees to submit tasks into their planner board. While it is possible to connect an MS Form as the intake form with PowerAutomate, it is a tedious process that most teams struggle to setup without assistance. A more intuitive, streamlined approach would be extremely helpful.
- Any thoughts for allowing custom fields on Planner tasks?
Many teams want to include more details on the tasks being created. Currently, this is being done within the notes section but allowing custom fields to be created for use within a Planner board would reduce user error and ensure information is stored in an organized manner for metrics and reports.
