@MeenahKhosraw Would you need licenses for this? We currently have MS Project Online licenses. And we are on E5 licenses.

I'm not sure. This is a question better suited for someone from the product team. I recommend posting your question in the comments section on the blog article linked above.

Will it have google calendar integration?
microsoft/apple/google need to integrate each others calendar / todo apps & so on: most people are working with a mix of systems coming from any of those 3 (between phone & laptop), and it's only affecting UX & productivity

Hi,

the big issues for Planner today in some of our customer is:

1) limit of amount of task to be set up to an user;

2) There is no alert on windows or even on mobile. For users that do not daily check their 'MS TEAMS' or 'MS TO-DO' apps, so too much task fall in the 'forgotten' by users and that compromise all tasks for a projet. This alerts should be more clear every day that user log-in on his OWA, his MS Teams or everytime that MS TO-DO opens;

3) The tasks created as 'TASK' in Outlook will be mixed with TO-DO tasks and also with MS PLANNER tasks? Why the user has 03 different APPs to control his task? It´s so confusing to our customers.

Hello,
is it with the new Planner conception possible to integrate the Planner in private channels?
In the introduction video I can just see a 'General'-Channel in the Planner-list.
The answer is very interesting for different customers of us.

Greetings

@MeenahKhosraw does Microsoft have a grid sheet on what will be changing  for each app consolidated in the New Planner for Teams and the Web? 

Enhancements	To Do	Tasks	Planner	Project for the Web
Teams
The Web

The users want to know what specifically is changing.  What about Project for the Web licensing.  Planner is a default base license for us, and the users must request a P4W license.  What P4W licensing changes can we expect in the future?
