Bringing a Plan into Microsoft Teams

I have the same issue John Warner - In my situation I have used the copy plan feature to create a new project plan based of a template I built.  I am doing this in the Planner web app.  The copy bit works great but the plan is not created in our Clients Team so when I try to add the Planner tab to the team the Planner project is not available to select.  How do I take any Planner Project and assign it to a team so I can add it to the Teams tabs for my clients?

This is very frustrating - every link on this subject points to this thread as the solution but it doesn't seem to be.  Simple.  I have a team that I need to add a planner project to.  I can't change either of them or add a new team.  It doesn't seem like you can do this?

My plan is not listed as one of the available plans for the team.  I believe the plan was created before the Team was.  Is there anyway to get the plan imported?

"all Teams does is create a blank Plan with the same name rather than importing the existing Plan."

It seems that to add the existing plan from the Office Group you must be a member of that group, not "just" one of the owners. Use existing plan appeared only after I added myself as member, though I had to be owner to create a team from that group. Or maybe it just takes a very long time after creating a team from a group before you can add the existing plan.

John Kostenbader - I think you're describing copying a plan, not just importing one, right?

I appear to be having the same issue as above. I've spent a considerable amount of time developing a complex plan in planner and wanted to use it as a "template" for new teams that will be created in the future. When I try to import a plan it appears to draw only from any existing plan in the team site and not more broadly across all plans. Is this the expected behavior? Honestly I hope I'm doing something wrong. 

I am having issues importing a plan the I created in Planner and then importing that plan into Teams, I even changed the name of the Planner Plan to match the Teams Team so that it could recognise it, but all Teams does is create a blank Plan with the same name rather than importing the existing Plan.

What am I doing wrong?

Forgive me if this scenario has already been discussed, and if it has, I would appreciate being directed to it. 

I understand how I can take an existing Planner plan (O365 Group) and make it a Team, then add the Planner tab to expose it.  But I want to do is take a single Team and add multiple plans to corresponding channels.  For project management groups who work and collaborate on multiple projects, hence different conversation, filesets, and Planner plans, it would be nirvana to be able to congregate in a single Team.  (I guess I'm really asking for is the ability to nest Office 365 groups?)

Eun, you need to enable that Group in Teams. so add a new Group and then select Enable Teams for an existing Group. Then when you add Planner to that new Team/Group, you will have the option to select the existing planner.

I'd like to import my existing Planner to my existing Teams channel.  It shows only "Create a plan" option when trying to add Planner to Teams. "Use an existing plan" option only appears if I already create a Planner in Teams, not bringing my existing Planner from Planner.  Can you please advise? 

There are two versions of Plans when working in Teams from what I can understand.

The first is a plan created for the Team as a whole, which I believe is based on the O365 Group created for the Team.   This primary plan will be visible within the Planner Hub as standard.   I believe this is the first Plan created for a Team.

If you create any subsequent plans against any other channel in that team you will have a Plan that you will not be able to fully see within the Planner hub.  

You will be able to see any tasks assigned to you within the My Tasks section of the Planner hub.

An over view of the channel plan can only be seen within the Planner tab you created for this channel.  This overview is limited to the tasks and buckets within that Plan, you won't see the donougt graph etc.

It is still a bit confusing I know, but I hope that the MS developers correct this in the short term.
