Thanks, Alan! I had a feeling that we could use the graph to produce just about anything we would need. A PowerBI dashboard containing everything would be awesome. We're just starting to explore our options and are not yet 365 subscribers so I can't just go try things out for myself.
I appreciate your response.

We had a similar request from our leadership recently and spent some time exploring various ways to make this work using Planner. Our comparison was using VSTS which has much of this capability already built in, but can be a bit disjointed. Microsoft Teams happened to land right around the same time which did offer good integration with VSTS, so we went that route instead of trying to custom dev around all the current shortcomings of Planner for anything more than very simple one team only task management.

Hi @Jason E. Heiser, as @Alan Marshall mentioned, you can use the graph APIs for this. Or as an alternate you can use Apps4.Pro Planner Manager which does all the reporting you have quoted. http://apps4.pro/planner-manager.aspx

@Jason E. Heiser You're probably better looking at the more comprehensive planning capabilities of Azure Boards - which definitely allow you do way more at that Project Management level.
Here is a bit about Teams integration with Azure Boards: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/integrations/boards-teams?view=azure-devops#:~:...
