Great stuff, Gavin! As always answering all the questions raised by watching the MS release material! 👍I thought I'd force myself to dive into the new Planner by moving all my personal tasks to an individual premium plan but just realized you can't move tasks to and from a premium plan. Have you heard anything about when that feature can be expected? Not being able to use the Task list as an inbox before triaging tasks into Planner seems like a real deal-breaker.... :(

Thanks for the update Gavin! MSFT seems to be dropping the ball. They should own this project planning/collaboration ecosystem, but are frustrating loyal clients with shoddy product management.

Thanks for this great breakdown! Can’t believe that the assigned to me section is not connected with the premium project plans at launch tbh, haha, but I’m staying optimistic for this revamp of Planner in general to keep improving over time.

I found adding a premium plan to a team required using the project app for the tab not the planner app is that your experience as well?

I think I've gotten around the Planner permissions issue? You can add a website tab to a channel and put the web address of the plan in there.... Still confused about the limitations here since I'm piloting it with just a few people. Does this workaround allow specific people to view or edit?

Is there a way to see who created a task? We are an ecommerce team looking to add content creation tasks to our content teams planner app. We would not use the assign feature as the manager of the content team will manage who in their team will complete the work. But for their team members reference, how would they know which member of the ecom team created the task if they needed to get in touch to speak with them about it?

So if I want to have a conversation about a task like we can in Trello then we need a premium plannner plan. But only I need the premium plan licence to set it up and everyone else can use it ? Is that how it will work eventually? I don’t have the new experience yet. And we are moving away from Trello because they are now charging per workspace member and we are already paying for 365. I have a premium licence but I still need a premium planner licence on top of that ?😔

So the premium planner is exactly like the Microsoft project?

As a team manager, is there any way to view all tasks across the company assigned to my team on any given day so I can balance workload?

How would you add resources (for lack of better term) to a project, such as a Client's name, contact person, contact info; project brief, etc. In other words, important info that is not actually a task.

Can we tag team members now in comment section?

Claiming that "..if you have any task to do across your organization then Microsoft planner is still the best...) is a bit of a salesman pitch far from reality. I can mention several solutions far more intuitive and easy to use than MS Planner. Most of them for free...

very disappointed
