Re: Way to see all Planner tasks assigned to a team member?
Glad to see I'm not the only one interested in this feature. I hate that we pay for other PM software when we have Planner already available and we're in Teams all day. We don't need anything robust, just something with slight more functionality to help us manage overall.Re: Teams Breakout Rooms Settings - Presenters Missing in the "Manage Rooms" Setting
Unfortunately, no. We had to go through 10+ meetings with an alternative approach since we couldn't execute in the way we were wanting. I asked my IT team to escalate it with MS/put in a ticket, but nothing has transpired since.Teams Breakout Rooms Settings - Presenters Missing in the "Manage Rooms" Setting
Hello! I'm hoping that someone can help identify a solution to a problem that has us dumbfounded. We have set up multiple Teams meetings where we need a handful of presenters to have the ability to manage the breakout room settings. We've found the setting to make this designation - "Assign presenters to manage rooms" - but unfortunately during testing, our presenters aren't showing to be able to select them. We either get a "We couldn't find any matches" or a "There are no assigned presenters to select from" error. And sometimes we're able to select one presenter, but no one else. We've tried adjusting the attendee settings so that everyone is a presenter, so that the specific people we need managing breakout rooms are set as presenters, etc. and we still have this issue. We can find no rhyme or reason as to why it works for some but not for others, and are looking for a consistent solution. Any help is appreciated!!! Happy to elaborate further as needed.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!Are there plans to add another timeline view, similar to a gantt chart, to Planner?
My team is currently exploring project management / collaboration tools for our HR team. Since my company is already on Office 365, I recommended we use Planner. Personally, I manage all my projects via a super basic Excel timeline template I created. It's so simple; we're small, have moving target timelines and don't deal in dependencies or classic resource scheduling, so we just need something basic to manage all the parts and pieces of a project. Something non-project managers can quickly catch onto. Creating a project timeline is how I start every project. However, if we start to use Planner more for task management, I'd love to have a visual way to create and monitor the schedule, something that is more of a gantt chart style timeline and not just a calendar view. I attached an image below of what I currently use in Excel. Is another timeline view or basic gantt chart capabilities on the road map anywhere for Planner? I know the tool continues to be developed, and I'd love for our team to just use something we already have in-house. The only solution I can think of right now is to keep a tab in Teams with this DIY project plan and then actually assign the tasks via planner, though that's a little clunky. Thoughts? Better way to do this?
