Happy Ignite! The upcoming new capabilities for Microsoft Planner focus on integration, which is key in keeping the flow of work going and helping you and your team to be more productive. We are pleased to announce the following.
Align work to key organizational priorities
The Viva Goals team announced on September 22, 2022 a new integration with both Microsoft Planner and Microsoft Project. Viva Goals will help your teams align your work to your organization's strategic priorities through Objective and Key Results (OKRs) while increasing visibility across projects for stakeholders.
New application permission capabilities for the Planner APIs
Two enhancements that are designed to make it easier than ever to work on tasks in your organization will be available next month. The first, Business Scenario capabilities, allows integrations with external sources so those external inputs can be represented as tasks for the appropriate team. As an example, you might build an app to listen for warning events from machine sensors that monitor for machine failure signs and then create a task as a result. Application permissions for existing Planner API capabilities is the second enhancement. With this feature, you can compile a daily report of completed vs. not completed tasks on a specific team. Read more about these new additions to the Planner API capabilities.
