Integrate fully with Planner, Sharepoint, and Outlook Tasks, Calendar
Please integrate more with Planner (hopefully soon with Kanban and timeline visualisation channels for tasks) and/or with sharepoint web parts that do this, so all tasks linked in one place. And Outlook as well (for calendar and emails pertinent to chats and tasks). Until then in effect Teams is yet just another tool to use that is not completely integrated for communication + coordination.

We are working on the release of the Tasks application in Microsoft Teams that will aggregate data from Microsoft To-Do, Planner and Outlook with more capabilities on the way. You can see Planner data in Kanban views today, and the Tasks app will continue to support that view. In January we announced task publishing which will release with the new app. Get an overview at https://youtu.be/rTATVGroEsQ.

Can we also have time recording facilities for that we can bill the clients too based on time spent on a particular task?

I saw an announcement from back in November about this feature and it is still not available. What is taking so long?

Please ... Allow planner, To-Do, Outlook and Teams to share the same tasks, sync them correctly across all clients (no bugs) so that we can use any or all of the software apps and be able to actively create and manage all our tasks. it is messy and buggy at the moment.
Thank you very much. -

A couple notes.Teams was just enabled for us, and to even think about replacing our current communication tool, it is really going to need email & calendar integration. For example, from outlook there is a plugin that allows me to add any meeting to our communication tool with a simple click.
Additionally, the lack of adding existing planner schedules makes transitioning planner to full team integration difficult.

This one will work wonders when implemented. Thank you for the progress on this one.

3 years, 6,700 votes, a link to a video created in Nov. 2019, and I still can't add "Tasks" to Teams. Yet you "say" two months ago I had the availability of this feature. I'm calling BS!

So do we know when this will actually be released?

I'm glad to hear you're in testing, but the video you sent is just a marketing blurb. It doesn't tell us what's integrated and what's not. The main issue our clients are facing (and the reason they're not using Planner at all) is the total lack of integration with Outlook/Office 365 native calendars. The iCal publish option is entirely useless, unfortunately. Does this pending release fix this?

I don't understand why Microsoft cannot produce more frequent updates on these much-needed features. I find it frustrating to read an update from 2018 saying "we're working on it", without any follow up.

I hope this will allow to Sharepoint navigation within teams, so we don't have to leave the teams app. Can't wait to see when this is put into place. :)

How's this coming along? I'm hoping to have emails and tasks all grouped within Teams... :)
Our company is trying to decide what our centralized tool for communication will be and it seems email may win just to prevent having to check two places for notifications... :/

I love so many of the New Features you guys are working on, but I'll never understand why you didn't just pin a Shared Mailbox to each Team instead of creating a whole new quasi-mailbox / quasi-group. We have to have a Separate Shared Mailbox and Team for each department because Aliases, Department Contact Lists, and Task lists don't integrate very well across these platforms. I wish you would keep developing solutions you've already started rather than just starting from scratch and ending up with 2 separate competing features.
