Microsoft Planner Download Tasks

I do understand that if in Planner I assign the task to myself, it shows up in the separate To Do app (which I don't use) or separate Teams app under "Assigned to Me". But "Assigned to Me" doesn't show up in Outlook Desktop client, only "tasks" does.

@madkin12 Sorry to say I have not found the solution. Tasks assigned to me in Planner do not make it to Outlook tasks. The furthest they make it is to the separate To-Do app, which unfortunately for me is a bit of an orphan product and doesn't sync with other things like Outlook does. It also doesn't show up as a sidebar in Outlook desktop, so you need to open up another tab and it's slow to open. Certainly no at-a-glance functionality like Outlook tasks. Sorry I can't help!

We recently attempted to make use of planner for a client and went through tech support and was told automatic calendar syncing to the members calendar group or even attaching the iCalendar can only be updated manually. When you create a new planner, any members added automatically get a new group calendar associated to their user account. This group calendar does not post any of planner's calendar items. The only way to get planner calendar items it to manually attach the iCalendar/public publish and this would need to be done each time a change is made in planner.

I mentioned to tech support that this seems to be either a deficiency in the product or a work in progress. They said it was by design . Then why even automatically attach a group calendar when creating a planner; to get hopes up :)

@NERD911 thank you. Unfortunately I'm looking for non time-bound tasks to show in Outlook. So while there is some calendar connectivity as you say, what I'm trying to do is create a TASK in planner and have it show in Outlook Tasks, not on my calendar.

In the meantime vote for it in the Microsoft Feedback Hub: planner task outlook Community (microsoft.com) (unfortunately there aren't many yet voting on this)

Good luck!

But the net result is my download time is down to 30 seconds for 7 Plans of more than 1000 tasks, I get more fields than I do any other way, and the Excel Power Query processing takes less than 1 minute and the end user doesn't have to do anything.

As discussed before this is limited by the 'List Tasks' 400 max limit but so is 'Apply to Each' method. Today I moved more than 600+ tasks out of one Plan into 2 other Plans working to get us under the limit.

Total time today to download more than 1400 tasks from 8 plans (20 seconds), read from Sharepoint, do the data manipulation and present output in Excel .... less than 2 minutes and it can be full auto. I have a checking routine which highlights user errors with a link back to each Planner task and then I can easily fix them either manually or potentially with a mass update flow.

Planner and Lists are great for adding and managing team-based tasks and task lists. To Do is great for adding and managing personal tasks and task lists. Tasks in Teams is essentially a viewport to see all of your tasks in Planner and To Do. At this time, there is no integration to view any List tasks that are assigned to you through To Do and Tasks in Teams; that said, Lists is easy to add as a tab to any Team using its connector, so you have easy access to the list and your other tasks via Teams.

Use Planner: If you want quick, easy, and simple-to-understand project management. It works. It provides a bunch of fields for your tasks, it integrates with To Do and Tasks in Teams, and it works great for both agile and waterfall project management, especially for small teams (i.e., not enterprise portfolio management). You can view tasks in a board or calendar view and there is a nice dashboard overview included. Planner is available as a web app, Teams tab, and mobile app.

Will Lists be integrated with To Do, where a user would be able to view items assigned to them from Lists? As Planner tasks have been linked into To Do, it seems silly that Lists linked into To Do was not part of the launch. Now if i have one team using Planner and another using Lists, I can utilize To Do for viewing all of my tasks, EXCEPT for those assigned from the team(s) using Lists.

I teach my clients that the appropriate approach to using Planner and To-Do is to Think Big, and Act Small. I suggest that they use Planner when thinking big and To-Do when acting small. To Do will aggregate all their day to day tasks in one place, making it easy to act on plan items, email flags and their own to-do lists. Alternatively Planner is much better when you need to think big and have a 30,000 feet view of complex projects with multiple stakeholders.

Since then, To-Do has become the replacement for the long-standing tasks section of Outlook. To-Do allows the user to list and track their own personal tasks in lists and groups. You can see your Microsoft Planner Tasks and any flagged Outlook emails in the To-Do app, and you can add tasks from other apps (like OneNote). To-Do gives you a good snapshot of your upcoming tasks across all Microsoft 365 apps, without a lot of context to the larger projects they may be a part of.

Where To Do is all about your individual tasks, Microsoft Lists exists on the Team or Group level. Microsoft Lists provides a more holistic and intensive view of a project and all its components. It allows you to build out a project and assign tasks to other users, and lets you see where individual tasks or list items fit into a project. To put it simply, To Do is for granular, day-to-day, personal task management, whereas Microsoft Lists is better for larger-scale team project, process, or workflow management.

On the surface, Microsoft Planner and Microsoft Lists seem like they have a lot of overlap. Both do function as project management tools, but while Planner is a project management tool that focuses on tasks that need to be done to complete a project using a Kanban board, Microsoft Lists is a lot more flexible and customizable.

Microsoft Lists is perfect for scenarios where you need more flexibility and customization than Microsoft Planner allows. Use Lists when you want a customized experience where you can control the fields, options, layout, views, and more. You can certainly use it to replicate the functionality available in Microsoft Planner (although it would be more work that just using Planner), but the real value in Lists is that it can handle projects that are not strictly made up of tasks.

I get no prompts in the Flow Test to suggest there are any errors, but when I run the test, it just hangs on the first 'Apply To Each' window before timing out. I have been running a test for the last hour now to see if it will go longer, and it appears to be chugging through the 30 tasks in my Planner. See below:

One of our directors is interested in generating reports based on Microsoft Planner data. I'm currently trying to find a way to transfer this data to Domo, but I'm having trouble using Power Automate. I came across a feature called "Export Microsoft Planner tasks to a SQL database" and was wondering if anyone has experience using it. Is there a simpler or more effective method to achieve this goal?

Think of it as a way to organize your team and tasks, similar to apps such as Slack and Trello. Microsoft has positioned this task management tool for more casual users who have personal projects to execute. For professional project managers, MS Planner can be seen as a gateway app into Microsoft Project, Teams and Sharepoint.

Planner Gantt is a tool that allows users to easily plan and modify tasks using a Gantt overview. With this tool, users can get an overview of all their plans, forecast milestones, and key deliverable dates. The drag-and-drop interface allows for easy replanning and visualization of critical paths. Additionally, users can control details on all tasks, reorder tasks, set start and end dates, update progress, and collaborate with the team on stand-up meetings. Planner Gantt provides an intuitive interface for managing Microsoft Planner plans.

The Tasks by Planner and To Do app in Microsoft Teams from Office 365 brings together your individual and personal tasks from To Do and Outlook with your team tasks from Microsoft Planner. Project management is now easier when you can see your work in one place. Ultimately this helps to make task management of your tasks list more manageable. This video and article discusses using the Tasks by Planner and To Do app.

The My Tasks section of Tasks by Planner and To Do displays individual tasks that you have created to track your work. Microsoft Planner tasks that have been assigned to you will be visible here as well. In short, everything in this list is your work to accomplish.

The List View shows tasks in rows. The tasks are able to be filtered by Active or Complete. The tasks may also be filtered by Due date, Priority, Label, Bucket and Assignment. The list view makes viewing a task list simplified with functionality built for project teams.

The Board view allows tasks to be grouped by one of 6 attributes. Those attributes include Bucket, Assigned to, Progress, Due date, Labels and Priority. Tasks may be moved between buckets easily utilizing a drag and drop approach. Think of the Board view like a Kanban view.

The Bucket field is an item that is configurable by you. Meaning, if you were to create buckets of Stage 01, Stage 02, Stage 03, etc., you could see your tasks grouped by the stages of your project. Like a Summary task. And further creating list items in your tasks, you have the ability to have additional relationships between Summary and subtasks.

Label is also an item defined as you. Each label is associated with a specific color. Think of label as another opportunity to tag and group/report on your tasks in a way meaningful to you and your organization.

Finally, the Schedule view shows tasks assigned to you on top of a Calendar that can be a Monthly or Weekly view. This makes it easy for the user to see what they should be focusing on and when. It's also a key ingredient to setting and managing expectations by the project manager with the team. ff782bc1db
