- Can an organization create a template that can be shared and used by multiple employees?
Ashna_PatelMicrosoft
Hi Julia - our current template offerings can be shared and used by multiple employees! Are there any templates that you'd be inclined to use that we currently do not offer?I understand how the current templates work, and they are not bad, however, I would like to be able to customize or create from scratch a template that will show up when a user selects the "New plan" button. Outlook does it, Excel, Project and other do also. Your built-in templates are somewhere, with a specific format and file extension, why can't we create our own?
- There seems to be a lot of focus on improving the Premium version of Planner. A lot of great features seemed to be tucked away in there. Is there any focus on the Planner Basic platform? Our company is finding it difficult to justify paying the additional cost for Planner Premium especially when it now competes with so many other project management solutions that are now comparable in cost. Subtasks seems to be the biggest pain point with Planner Basic. At this point, we need to purchase planner premium for everyone, or find another alternative.
- Will the new planner have any type of integration with Azure DevOps in terms of linking/syncing user stories/tasks to Planner milestones/tasks?
- when will portfolios be available?
- HowardCrowhttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?msockid=2c15fd5d85646ad00102ecdb84d76b9e&filters=Planner our roadmap can be seen here including portfolios
- Next time, please show the questions you are answering.
- Very excited for the new features - especially Portfolio. We have some managers with 20+ projects and the integration will be extremely welcome and well-received. Will the transfer from 'Microsoft Project for the Web' into 'Planner for the Web' along with Portfolio be something the end user can easily do or will IT need to be hands on with each person?
- HowardCrowThe transition from P4W into Planner will be a 'no migration' experience where users can just go directly to the new URL
- Which connectors do you recommend using with premium Planner in Power Automate? You mention that it's supported, but as far as I can tell the connectors in Power Automate only work with the non-premium Planner? Do we use the Dataverse connectors?
- Yes, Christine, there are Dataverse connectors that can be used with premium plans - we have certainly heard the feedback that the basic plan options should also be available and can be easier to consume - and this is something we have on our backlog. Which connectors would you find most valuable?
- We need customisable Planner templates that can be rolled out as standard with the creation of new TCA. Is this something that can be achieved through Planner Premium? Thanks
- Ashna_PatelThanks for the feedback Matthew. This is a feature that we are looking into and is on our backlog. In the meantime, are there specific templates that you'd like to see?
- Will there be a possibility to migrate projects / premium plans to different environments or to make a complete historization of the project with all its related data without cloning the entire environment?
- Is there a planned release date to enterprise resource overallocation / capacity planning across multiple projects?
