Need full capabilities of Planner in Teams
Right now you can add a new tab for Planner in Teams. However, you are not afforded all the capabilities of Planner in this tab. Its really "Planner Lite." Here are some items you cannot do with Planner in Teams:
1) If you create a Planner in Teams, it will not be shown in Planner itself!
2) you can go to the group (in web outlook) wich is automatically created for the team and click there on planner and it will take you to the planner for the new group, which then cannot be displayed at teams, but the team…4,797 votesThe Planner team has updated the Planner tab to include the Schedule and Charts views. Drag and drop tasks to schedule them and check status with the charts view, all within the Planner tab.
The completed items are now 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8.
The remaining item #5 is still actively being worked on, and we hope to have an update for you soon.
As a bonus #9, we also expect to roll out Guest Access Support very soon.
I’ll keep you posted as more things develop!

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.
1,719 votesWe are actively working on this feature request.
We recently announced a Planner Web Part which covers the SharePoint request. Details can be found at: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint-Blog/Use-SharePoint-web-parts-to-showcase-data-from-inside-and/ba-p/161584
There have also been some Outlook Calendar integration which you can read about at: https://blogs.office.com/en-us/2018/02/05/conquer-time-with-new-features-in-microsoft-planner/
More updates to come, so stay tuned!

Integrate tasks in planner with Outlook Tasks & Calendar
Every time you create a task in planner via Microsoft Teams and assign it to someone in your organisation/team it would be nice to see that task in outlook as well. I want to know and to be alerted that I have a task assigned to me without having to lon on to Microsoft Teams.
It would be great to have a place to see how many tasks have been created in a team/channel and the status of each one.1,017 votes -
Notification for Planner Tasks
Planner and Teams just needs a notification - when a task has been created for an assigned user that user should receive a notification - currently we are doing a work around by starting a conversation with a mention of a member name
thanks985 votesI apologize for the lack of updates. We are still working on this item.
Planner now has notifications for when tasks are assigned to you or when you have tasks due in the coming week. We are working on also notifying users within teams too.

Gantt view for Planner Tasks
When using The planner tasks TAB, we would to have the possibility to have a gantt view of our planificated tasks
182 votesThis item has moved to the backlog. This was due to some priority shifts.
Don’t worry though, this will continue to be worked upon and as I get more information I will pass it along.

Templates for Planner
Would be good if we could have predefined templates for planner that we can then use for repetitive tasks eg onboarding a new starter.
This is a feature we had in Asana and have lost since moving to teams

Move planner tasks to another team
We have created a planner tab in most of our teams. Sometimes a task on the plannerboard has to be moved to another team (e.g. next step on a task has to be executed by a different team), which now has to be done by deleting the task in the original team and adding one in the other team with copying data from the original task.
Possible solution: when editing a task it displays the teamname and bucketname in the left top. When you click on the name you can select a different team (only teams you are subscribed to),…

Support for planner charts
It looks like in it's current "preview" form, the planner charts that show the circular "status" chart, the "members" bar chart, etc. are not present. It would be great to have these back for each plan that's being worked on. Our Teams use these quite a bit. Thanks.

My Tasks view
in Planner (tasks.microsoft.com) there is a "My Tasks" button that shows everything assigned and its current progress status.
Can this be built in to teams?
As i am working on multiple projects it would be good to see what needs doing without having to look through 20 tabs

Create Planner item from Thread
It would be great if there was an easy way to take a thread, and turn it into an item on a Tab, such as Planner. Where we are building a 'helpdesk' team channel with our tickets pouring there (please also see my threading of connector webhook updates request) it would be great to be able to pull the threads into planner and keep track of them there. It would also be great if planner updates would then reflect back to the channel, and where the planner items being updated were created from threads, said updates would occur back in…

Planner Checklist
We should be able to reorder items in checklist without having to delete items
66 votesThank you for this feedback! Fortunately, this feature already exists. Just drag and drop items in the order you desire.
Let me know if you have any more questions on this!

My Tasks for Planner
We need to have the ability to see all of our own tasks in one place. Currently we have to check everything we are involved in and the only workaround is embedding a website that actually shows those items. It would be more beneficial to have something that is more integrated with Teams. Most of the time it is used in the browser with the embedded site as the portal to immediately click over to the browser.

Planner: Allow chats on tasks in planner
Working on a planner task in Teams, I can post a comment. This comment is then sent by E-Mail to all team members and the Team's mailbox. No chat allowed on Tasks - only on the Channel. This is very much different to the logic applied in other channels in Teams.

Create Planner Task directly from Conversation Item
Many times while working with my Team in conversations, we create actionable items from our work together. It would be AMAZING if there was a small icon in the top right corner (next to the saved icon and the thumbs up perhaps) that would allow me to turn that conversation line directly into a planner task, linking the two together! Think about how much more productive we could be, plus, we cut down the step of having to copy and paste into planner itself.

I need the ability to look at meeting more than 6 days into the future.
Please allow for the viewing of more calendar days for meetings to be able to manage meetings with members.

Follow Up Ability
There should be an ability to make anything in Teams a follow up task (possibly link it to planner). If someone posts something, I want to be take that post and create a task with it for follow up. With this, similar to Outlook's summary page - I want a summary page in Teams, such as ALL current open tasks, new unread messages, etc.

Assigning a non-member to a task in planner adds them to the Team
If you assign a person a task in planner who isn't a member of the team, they automatically get added to the team. There is a message which says non-member but I don't think this is clear enough.
There should be another warning/pop up telling the user that if they assign a task to someone not on the team they will get added to the team. This is a security concern!

copying tasks in teams
If I have a number of similar tasks, it would make me more productive if I could just copy & paste (or duplicate) a fully populated one, rename it, and tweak the details to fit.

Make a post or comment Actionable
Had an interesting use case pop up today -- one of my team members sent a review request as an email to the team with a link to a Teams-based document. When I asked why she sent an email, she said she considers email to be more "visible" than things in Teams, and that sometimes things are lost in Teams.
Further investigation concluded that if we had the ability to convert conversations or bits of conversations into actionable items and add reminders/notifications to those somehow, the tool would be infinitely easier to use.I think it is critical to have…
