Suggestion: Expand Planner Functionality with Permission Controls and Task Deletion Notifications

Dear Microsoft Planner Team,

I am writing to express my appreciation for Microsoft Planner as a valuable tool for task management and team collaboration within our organization. While we find the platform to be effective, we believe that additional features could significantly enhance its utility and efficiency.

Specifically, we propose the implementation of granular permission controls for plans. This would enable plan owners to designate read, write, and task completion/deletion permissions on a per-user basis. Such functionality would significantly improve data security and accountability within our teams.

Furthermore, we recommend the introduction of email notifications for task deletions. Currently, the absence of such notifications hinders our ability to track task progress and identify potential issues. By providing timely alerts, Microsoft Planner can better support effective project management and prevent unforeseen challenges.

We believe that these enhancements would provide substantial benefits for our organization, including:

• Improved data security: Granular permissions would protect sensitive information by limiting access to authorized personnel.
• Enhanced accountability: The ability to track task deletions would facilitate responsibility and prevent accidental or intentional data loss.
• Increased efficiency: Timely notifications would enable proactive issue resolution and optimize workflow management.

We look forward to your consideration of these suggestions and the opportunity to discuss them further.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Idan Cohen
