I'm all for meeting the people behind the curtain, but the other half of this title was "what's coming next". What we were told was: There's a new logo, the existing timeline is still the same (and largely undefined), that Copilot was coming (but only for people who pay for the second tier license), and... nothing else really? Just didn't feel like there was much substance here.
I can understand the frustration of not having a focus on Planner for a long time, we can just look at it this way: I’m glad they’re focusing on it now. And what I’d love to see is the merger of Project for the Web INTO PLANNER. I’m hoping that happens in our near future. Like I understand it’s hard because it’s the merge of two teams and two separate platforms. It’s not an overnight thing. But I’m here for the improvements no matter how minor we see them.
Oh I'm all for the consolidation and hoping things are great in the long run. I was hopeful this particular event delivered a little more on what it claimed it was going to.
Thanx so much for this feedback. The main focus right now is on performance, reliability, the new UI (which we showed and discussed) and the coherence of the data itself. If you used Project on the Web, ToDo or Tasks in Teams the UI itself is the big step forward with the balance being behind the scenes. Hope that clarifies what we were talking about / showing. You can find the specifics of the timeline at aka.ms/M365Roadmap but the new UI needs to get out to all first.
Is there any plan to add a Power BI connector for Planner? I can imagine some really interesting things getting created with that along with the new custom fields that will be added (e.g. Agile burnup charts with story points) I realize you’re probably trying to push the reporting to the service itself, but there’s just so many more options when you introduce Power BI into it.
@@ma7mgte Oh you know what? They mentioned in the AMA today that it was stored in Dataverse - so likely no new connector needed (at least with the license upgrades)
What we all want to really know is when will planner work in Teams with projects created in a custom environment in Project for the Web (so we can actually start to use this)?
Super disappointed with what was delivered in the “new planner”. There is so much basic stuff missing or just working poorly. Talk to users, please. I don’t need AI to create a plan if I can’t properly notify a colleague.

One simple & essential feature request: Ability to tag a team member in a task comment and they get notification in activity or by email.

@@mitchherrema2304 sounds like you'll have some great questions for us at the AMA tomorrow!

Please MS! Actually I re-reviewed the chart and PowerBI integration is/will be available
@@ma7mgte What chart are you referring to?
@@bi-ome It's in the video, around the 23:52 mark. There's a note about PowerBI integration
oh, the footnote? Maybe there will be more info in the AMA lol

Am I the only one confused at how they talk about the new planner in the video, but they show the old planner? Did I miss something?
As you know, one of my ABSOLUTELY FAVORITE apps in the Microsoft 365 stack!!! ❤❤❤
Great insights! Looking forward to the general availability.
What we all want to really know is when will planner work in Teams with projects created in a custom environment in Project for the Web (so we can actually start to use this)?
when will it be released publicly and globally?
I’m curious if it will convert old plans as well.
@@daCubanaqt Yes it does convert old plans
It is available now to the public and around the globe.
Azure DevOps integration?
I got the new Planner and was excited... until I discovered I can't copy a plan without the premium version.
