We have government G3 O365 subscriptions. When will Planner be available to us?
Thanks

According to this page:
https://blogs.office.com/en-us/2015/09/22/introducing-office-365-planner/
"
Q. Which Office 365 plans are eligible for Planner when generally available?
A. Planner will be included in the Office 365 Enterprise E1–E5 subscription plans (including corresponding Government and Non-Profit), Office 365 Business Essentials and Premium plans, and Office 365 Education."

And this page says:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt774581.aspx
"11 Not yet available for Office 365 US Government Community or Office 365 US Government Defense plans, but coming soon."
Microsofts definition of soon is "years" rather than "months" or even "weeks".

And we also find this:

I appreciate the update Dave. My boss really wants this functionality and is telling me to shop for an alternative. I have been telling her to wait, but I'm not sure she is will to wait another 6 months.
I really hate deploying something and shortly thereafter we find it available in something we already have been paying for.

Sounds like you are loosing customers! And costing your customers money. . .
The long delay is really confusing given that you have already released it elsewhere. . . By the time it is released that will be > 1.6 years after the original release. Actually, I think that will make it > 2 years after the original release. . .

Just a quick question - what does "H1" of 2018 mean? Does that mean the first half of 2018?
Thanks,

One can tell the priority put forth for "Government" customers.

Add me to the list of those who need this feature NOW. My customers are already shopping/procuring 3rd party products to fill this void. It's frustrating that we are paying for all of these services that we are not receiving. I was holding them off until the end of 2017, but if I tell them another 6 months, they won't believe it -- and honestly, neither do I.

The Office 365 roadmap was updated to specify Q2 of CY2018. For whatever that is worth.. it's more specific than it was previously :) So many we can hope by the end of June?

Roadmap now says Q3 2018. Updated on March 19th, 2018.

"Planner will be available in Office 365 US Government Community (GCC) when it meets the compliance commitments of the offering."
It's been pushed back for 2 years now, so who knows when it'll actually happen. It is likely not Microsoft's fault.

Looks like they changed the date once more, and this time they actually have a month/year:
Microsoft Planner for GCC:
Estimated Release: May CY2018

Um, maybe it is out of compliance, maybe it actually will happen. Usually when they give a month, they are within 60 days, so this is good.

Not sure what changed, but they updated it yesterday:
May 10 2018 01:17 PM
Any day now...
May 10 2018 01:49 PM
I'll believe it when I see it :)

I don't think Dave is the PM anymore. My contact is saying they are missing May, but hoping for June. Honestly, who knows though.
