Reports
This tools is great for tracking teams and reports. I'd like to have an option to export the data to share with management and peers or simply as a historical reference. It would be awesome if the reports could maintain the vision that is displayed in the UI.

Planner templates
The planner template is so basic for me (as business processes are normally repeatable), that makes the whole app completely useless at its current state. Any time I might save planning with this Canvan apporach, I will lose it as I have to create the same tasks over and over.

Assign task to Organization Member without becoming Plan Member
When you assign a Task to an organization member it becomes part of the Plan/Group.
We should be able to assign Tasks to people but to limit their view to that task only.

Provide notifications inside Planner for those who don't want email notifications
Create a notification center inside Planner that will keep you up to date on all subscribed changes inside Planner. Notifications should display updates on all projects and tasks that you follow or are assigned.
After you’ve read or taken action on a notification in the Notifications tab, you can archive it.
You should be able to take action on tasks while reviewing Notifications.
Asana has a wonderful notification system called Inbox. It helps to reduce email notifications and provides notifications in-app. https://asana.com/guide/help/fundamentals/inbox

Assign Task Lead
The ability to assign a task to multiple people is a big improvement. BUT, we'd like to be able to designate a primary responsible (ie. a task lead.)

The ability to assign individual checklist items and designate a due date within a task leading up to the overall task due date.
A task has a due date, but within the task the checklist items can also have their own due date and assigned group member to complete all needs before the actual task due date.

Effort estimate for each task
It would be very useful if you enable a feature to update efforts for each task in hours. Normally in Agile WoW, effort for each task is calculated in hours

CRITICAL: Cannot recover deleted Tasks and files attached to tasks are also lost permanently.
I accidentally deleted a task in Planner. The Task had screenshots and an agreement attached. Once the task has been deleted it does not go to the SharePoint recycle bin and the task, conversation, attachments are permanently deleted.
Easiest fix is to place the task into recycle bin. Work around is to place all attachments in the file repository then attach to task. You still lose the entire task list and conversations thus making this a critical flaw.

Ability to @ Tag a member of the Planner in the Comments of a Task.
It'd be awesome if you could tag another member of the planner the way you can on Facebook/Twitter/etc in comments of tasks so that they can see it.

Pls add a 'mention' functionality when adding comments in Planner
When I am adding comments on Planner Tasks then I want to be able to mention a specific employee who the task is assigned. This way I want the person to be notified.

Assign or change assignment for multiple tasks at once
Assigning more than one task to the same person is cumbersome as you must open each task individually. As a task creator or editor, I'd like to be able to select more than one task and assign or change assignment.

Make the Label Colors Changeable. Also allow for more or less labels
As stated before me. The labels are too small when applied. The user should be able to add or reduce the amount of labels and the user should have the ability to change the colors of the labels.
