Board View Missing for "My Tasks"
Hi there, We have adopted Microsoft Teams & Planner over the last two years for project management of high volume residential construction projects. We have become very reliant on the "Board ...
When you are in the context of a SINGLE plan they you will still have the Board view available. The view above is "Assigned to me" and shows different sources which may be different plans, or ToDo - and the different plans will have potentially different buckets. That is why there is no sense in having a Board view in the list views that show tasks from multiple sources. If we did there would be multiple buckets that may not be present in each plan - and what would the expectation be if you started to drag and drop tasks? I'd assume that what you need is the board view in single plan mode (as per your 'old' view) and this is still available, along with the new List view which is excellent for other tasks such as task entry and also multiple select features. I hope this clarifies the difference you are seeing.

Brian-SmithNo! No! No! Fault Fault Fault! Board View is NOT ONLY because drag&drop between users. The most usage is for the unique visibility (buckets side by side), using the checklist in a task card, drag&drop the cards between buckets and change positions in a bucket. Many Single User define their workflows with the canvas board! It's very important!!!
- Another advantage of the board view is the display of checklists in tasks. Seeing these "sub-tasks" for all plans gives one a better idea of the whole workload picture, rather than just a single list entry for each main task.
- My point exactly Martin - and I'm not talking about dragging and dropping between users - but between buckets? In the view you show there are multiple plans. One plan could have buckets called Trains, Planes and Cars - another plan could have buckets called Apples, Bananas and Oranges. Different buckets meant for different purposes in different types of plans. It would not make sense to drag a task from one Plan to another bucket - which does not even exist in that Plan? Or does it? Would you create that bucket? Most customers would not expect or want that behavior (in my opinion). You can certainly move tasks between Plans - but the logic of doing that on a Board view showing tasks from disparate plans would risk accidentally moving a task out of your plan or creating additional unnecessary buckets. Or am I failing again?
- I agree 100%
