Tracking hours spent on tasks in planner
I am not able to capture the amount of time I spend everyday on a particular task. We usually break down the task to as small a possible and work on more than one task on any given day. It will help if we can capture the amount of time we spend on a given task on a daily basis.
It will also help if we can plot the effort spent (individually and cumulatively). My intention is to have a scrum board for my team.

How this is not a native function blows my mind. When you 'plan' one of thee most important variables is time tracking. MS = Epic fail on this...
Add time tracking!!

Please add registration of time spent on a task in Planner. That would make planner a whole lot better for our team.

Time tracking for tasks and ability to generate report for that particular task or whole project with hours spent column next to it. Also if Microsoft could include unit price/hour. Thats it Planner is good to go for 2020. Please Microsoft we are already working on your tools, just do it man. I am sure you have best developers.

This is a simple addition that could move us from Jira to Planner.

Agreed! Absolute must-have. It seems strange to have to rely on 3rd party integrations for this.
We must continue to use Asana until we get time tracking for MS planner. I was looking at alternatives and this website offers integration to MS Planner.

We are looking at switching to MS project just to get everything in one place but seems a bit overkill.

I agree wholeheartedly with these comments. Was searching online to see if effort hours and actual hours were possible to be tracked in MS Planner and found this thread. Please add this functionality for this, or at the very least, some spaces for custom fields would be awesome!

An absolute must-have! Totally agree... that also allows valueable roll-up information to be able to be consolidated on a cost perspective in a portfolio monitoring.

having time tracking (together with time estimations) for each task in MS Planner would make this application perfect!

YES! it is a Must Have.. That would complete the Planner app, in all senses. Please Microsoft, kick in this feature for us.

Agreed with all the comments here. Have a time tracking function to log time against an assigned task would be very helpful. Also, linking a Planner task to a MS Project task would be very helpful.

Evaluating Planner against Jira this morning, and the lack of a time tracking feature is a deal-killer for Planner. On a tight R&D schedule, this is a must have for me as a project manager.
Is there is a workaround, please let me know. Otherwise, it's Jira for this team. -

We must continue to use Trello until we have a way to track time against tasks and report/export time data.

This feature is a killer feature which would decide our organisation to use MS Planner (integrated in MS Teams) for time tracking, instead of 3rd party tools. Microsoft: please help us out here

This would definitely help my small business. I currently use TimeCamp to track time, however it doesn't talk to Planner. It currently talks to Asana but then I am using 3 programs instead of 1. Would be great to be able to use just Planner and have everything in one place.
