I'm ultimately just wondering what the plan is for Planner. It's been in limbo for so long and is in critical need for a top-down refresh.

Alex, check out the Microsoft 365 Roadmap. You can drill down to Planner (and P4W) within it to get details on what is planned, what is rolling out, and what has been implemented recently: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=

    Thanks John_Hoover, I'm aware of the roadmap and feedback portal for Microsoft Planner. 

     

    Updates and improvements for Planner have slowed down to a crawl.  Most of the few items that are on the roadmap have been delayed multiple times already (i.e.: Rich Text in task notes). 

     

    When the Planner team did an AMA back in April 2021, most of the questions surrounding Mentions, DLP and permission management were ignored and still have not been addressed.  

     

    Since that AMA, I believe we've only seen (1) recurring tasks and (2) suggested attachments released into production.  These items were already on the roadmap at the time, IIRC.

     

    What I really want to know is whether Planner has any kind of future or if it's in permanent maintenance mode, being supported by the Project team.
