Way to see all Planner tasks assigned to a team member?
Is there a way to see all project tasks assigned to a team member? Or is this functionality on the radar? I can see all my assigned tasks, and I can see tasks by person by project, but as a manager, I would like a way to see all tasks assigned to my team members across all of their projects/functional areas, so that we can quickly evaluate their current workload, reprioritize and assign new tasks accordingly. What I'm thinking is that there would be a filter option to see buckets by team member of their collective project tasks, like the view currently available right now by individual projects. Interested in the capability to overlay multiple projects. Thanks!Planner conversations and filtering issues
Hi Everyone, I am really puzzled about Planner in it's current form and I hope someone here can point me to the thing I am missing here. I have a big project on hand with a big team and I initiated using planners to get this sorted. In the past I have used many solutions but since the company is Microsoft Foccused the Microsoft Planner seems the right way. Every plan I open starts with loads of completed tasks in sight. Of course I can filter them out, but besided the hassle of having to do that every time it also breaks the functionality of adding subtasks. I have to undo the filter, dive trough a list of stuff that's already been completed, at the subtask, reinstate the filter. We are talking about a paid planning solution here..... Secondly I can not get the task conversation to work. We used this alot before we had a premium subscription and now the function seems broken. I have been through the hassle of copying the planner and adding it to a new Teams channel, but still no dice. When I click the conversation button. Nothing happens. I tried opening the planner in the browser and making it link itself back to it's channel, but no dice. Our fairly easy planning needs are resulting in loads of headace right now and I really hope there is something I am missing and this isn't just what it is.. Every tip wil be much appreciated. Kind regards, Karim
Project desktop vs Planner + project Plan 3
We are trying to plan our projects using ms Planner Premium (Plan 3). However, I get very confused because of the so many product names, subscription name, soon ending products, etc. my questions are: Which desktop tool of microsoft for project planning is running currently. If it's "Microsoft Project Online Desktop Client MSO" can this be synced with the planner premium (Plan 3)?, if yes how? I have an excel list of a Project plan with the columns below: can i manage my project in planner premium? if yes, are all this custom fields deployed in dataverse, so that I can access them from power bi? i have a project plan in an excel file with this columns. now i want to create this project plan in project plan 3, how to do it?

Can GUESTS access t Premium Plan in Teams?
I created a Teams Team and want to manage a premium plan project therein. I have the Planner-Plan 1 license. One external supplier is a guest in my Team but he cannot see the Premium plan. Is this by design or is there any wrong setting in my system? I could not find any information on this in the Microsoft documentation. Facts The guest user is part of the team
Creating groups in Planner
I lead a team of 20 who each partner with 5 other people on external teams (to us but still internal to the company). I have been using the planner to give each 1:5 ratio group a single place to track status on tasks. However, every time I want to make a new group to add to the planner, I have to request it via microsoft. Our IT can't get around that. It takes weeks for my group requests to be approved and really ties up onboarding. Is there a way around this? Or any other way that I could get the same result minus the hectic waiting for groups to be granted access?
Planner - Plan 1 - Welcome message
Hi, we're using Teams for managing our projects. We have Team "Projects" and there are many channels inside this Team. Each channel represent our project (we are HVAC company). With the basic Planner, I used to create channel "Mr. Newman" - inside that channel we have all files related to that project, we have discussions about that project and we also have Planner assigned to that project. Which works well. Since we are growing, I wanted to test the Planner Plan 1 (I like the Goals, timelines etc), however, there is a huge problem that when I create the Planner now (the premium one), it sends an E-mail to everyone. I don't want that. All of the employees are getting emails that they have been added to the planner "Mr. Newman" etc. and they are asking what should they do with that? How do I turn that off? Thanks, Jakub
