How to create a sub-plan in Office 365 Planner
Dear all, The Office 365 Planner tool is a full Web application you can access from your Web Browser. This tool is helping grouped employees to manage some project without all the solution possible via Project Online. You can create tasks, group of tasks (named buckets), assign it to users, ... This is part of the modules available when you create an Office 365 Group (like Stream, PowerBI Group, Group Forms, Teams, …) and is covered by the Office 365 E1 license, you don't need additional license to use it. But when you create one Group, you have only one Plan associated natively. So this could be ok for many basic usage, but for many User group they can need to have more than one Plan to manage there daily job with the same employee team. For example, an IT group managing the helpdesk support can have several projects to manage in the same time in addition of the helpdesk job: Install the last video solution into the room XXX Test the new laptop configuration with the last internal Windows 10 image Prepare the arrival of the employee YYY ... As you can see each of these items are dedicated project with specific tasks associated, and sub groups (buckets dedicated too) So this use-case validated the request proposed into the UserVoice for Planner: https://planner.uservoice.com/forums/330525-microsoft-planner-feedback-forum/suggestions/11436501-instead-of-1-to-1-allow-groups-to-have-many-plans As you can see in the status, the solution is partially enable, and I will explain how to have it. You have to use the Teams dedicated application for that, via the "add a Tab" option: Into the application selection, you have to Choose Planner You have now to define the name of the new plan you need to create (the project name for example) And you will retrieve it into your Teams application tab If you now go into the Planner web application, you can retrieve that new plan and if you look the name you can find the SubPostion plan (SPS-Genève > General) Navigating into that new Plan with the Planner Web App will be as usual Attention: This solution is perfect, but you have to be accept the permission management, there is no permission isolation into those created sub-plan and the access for the sub-plans are the one placed into the root (basic Office 365 Group permission set). It will probably become, but it's not yet implemented Hope that will help to adopt that product which is in continuous evolution Fabrice Romelard [MVP]
How do you add existing Planners to Teams, or add Teams to an existing planner
Hi. I realize this ability was released sometime last year. However, in the last few weeks, has anyone had issues linking an existing plan to a Teams group? We had this ability, but it changed a few weeks ago. Our group structure and permissions have not changed. Thanks.Create the limits and boundaries page for Planner
Dear Planner team, I'm really surprised to not find anywhere the official page (and updated page after each change) related to the Planner limits and Boundaries. I found the MS Teams one: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/limits-specifications-teams But nothing related to Planner and that is missing. The message available with Google search is only this publication (but really light): https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Planner/Planner-Limitations/m-p/61650 That is not sustainable for a real adoption program. So for example, many question can come like: how many sub-plan can we create per Planner group ? How many Bucket max per plan ? (different values are available) How many tasks or subtasks per bucket ? How many assigned task per user ? ... You can see many values are missing to help the promotion and positioning for this product into a company like mine (more than 80'000 employees). Can you take a look and publish something related to that ? Thanks by advance Fabrice Romelard [MVP] PS: Do you have any expected date for the permission isolation of the sub-plan ?
issue with comments - the group isn't set up to receive messages
There is an issue for all of our M365 users with using Tasks by Planner and To Do in Teams. We use M365 with Exchange Online and Teams licenses. We create tasks in Teams. Each task has a comment box where text can be entered. When a comment is created, the user receives an e-mail with the error message: the group isn't set up to receive messages from user's email address It looks like an authorization problem, because comments fail for each user, even the creator of the task. On the other hand the app Planner shows a hint that a new user interface for Planner will be available shortly. Any help is appreciated.
Microsoft Planner @Mention and Comment Notification in Microsoft Teams - NEW VERSION
Hi Planner Community, Thank you for the overwhelming support for my original post last year on how to @mention someone within the Microsoft Planner community and have a message automatically emailed to them. I'm excited to share that I've completely redesigned and updated the solution to now support the new Microsoft Teams Planner and remove the issues some users found with setting up the solution. Additionally, the notification is now an adaptive card within the Microsoft Teams chat to the user you @mentioned in the Microsoft Planner comment. Screenshot example above shows a comment posted by me in a Microsoft Planner task where I’ve @mentioned David at the end of the message. Screenshot example above shows the comment posted by me in Planner being automatically sent to David (thanks to the @mention in the comment) on Microsoft Teams. Allowing David to reply in either the traditional Planner or new Teams Planner. Attached is a zip file containing the Microsoft Power Automate solution, along with a detailed walkthrough to help you set it up. Enjoy! If you download the solution, all I ask is that you please give this post a thumbs up. Thanks, everyone! Matthew Davis No More Bad MondayUse Planner in Microsoft Teams not possible
Hello, I try to integrate planners into teams. I found these instructions: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-planner-in-microsoft-teams-62798a9f-e8f7-4722-a700-27dd28a06ee0#bkmk_addaplannertabtoateamchannel Unfortunately this doesn't work because I already fail at the first step. No match was found when searching for the planner app in Teams. Why can this be and how can I solve the problem? Best regards Philipp NeumannCross-tenant user access to Planner (in Teams)
Hi We are facing an issue with Planner access from cross-tenant member users. After the user changes Tenant, and tries to access a Planner tab in Teams, he/she receives instantly a "Your session has expired." popup, what is keep repeating if you try to hit Login now. We are aware that Planner is not supported on Shared channels (what is meant to be used in cross-tenant collaboration), but this is not a Shared channel. Can someone confirm if Planner is (or will be) compatible with cross-tenant usage?? Gergely Boruzs
