We are thrilled to share that we have started rolling out the new Microsoft Planner for the web to customers in GCC High! 

When rolled out to your organization, users with a Microsoft 365 license who visit Planner for the web https://tasks.office365.us/ will receive the new Microsoft Planner experience, bringing together the simplicity of Microsoft To Do, the collaboration of Microsoft Planner, and the power of Microsoft Project for the web into a simple, familiar experience with a rich set of capabilities for individual and team work management. These include:

  • The ability to access all your plans, projects and to do lists in a single place
  • Access all your tasks assigned to you within My Tasks and manage your priorities in a My Day view.
  • Manage and coordinate work using various plan views (Grid, Board, Charts, Schedule, and more)!
A screenshot of the Board view of a plan in the new Planner for the web shows various task cards grouped by the following buckets: "Scope," "Analysis/Requirements," "Design," and "Development."

Experiencing premium capabilities in the new Planner for the web

In Planner for the web, you'll be able to collaborate in plans that have premium features including Timeline (Gantt) view, dependencies, sprints, custom fields, team workload, managing goals, and more! If you already have a Planner and Project premium license, you’re already equipped with access to the new Planner’s premium capabilities corresponding to the license you have.

Differences for customers in GCC High

It’s important to note that a few features are not available to customers in GCC High. These include:

  • Copilot and the Project Manager Agent in Planner.
  • Tasks assigned to you in premium plans will not appear in My Tasks view.
  • The ability to convert basic plans to premium plans.
  • Task history in premium plans.
  • Portfolios.
  • Plan backgrounds in basic plans.
  • Task Publishing.

Coming soon

The new Planner app in Teams is coming soon to customers in GCC-H! Follow the Planner Blog to stay tuned.

    So first it was Project for the Web.  Then it was Planner Premium.  Now it's Planner for the Web?  Is there any way you can stop coming up with additional names for the same product that I need to clarify for people?  It's exhausting.

      What I am really worried about is, that all this "unified backends" claims we can see for 1-2 years, are basically not happening. Premium is basically a Project for the web and we can still see the drastic outcome of disintegration.
      How comes, that card design differs (Planner card can display image, checklist), how comes, messages in Planner are integrated, whereas in Premium discussions lead to Teams? Stuff like
      Efforts / durability of task calculation are pure mess and look into the Premium grid - it looks like Excel, no separation, just look into Monday, how thigs are supposed to look.
      If I was supposed to choose one of those two worlds, I would ditch all the Project for the web heritage and extend / develop on Planner only. This is not integration, this is still keeping two separate products under the hood :-(
