Dashboard, template plan with template tasks and completed checklists.
I wish to save a plan as a template with template tasks that can be individually attributed and assigned to individuals. The template tasks should contain a completed checklist.
These plans are under a main page with summaries and dashboards for all the plans below.116 votes -

Make public plans discoverable
Currently, there's no way for end-users to obtain an overview of all public plans, as -contrary to what the name implies- the "All Plans" section is in fact the "All MY Plans" section.
If you know the name, you can find the related Group, but there's no way to go from the Group to the Plan.

archive completed plans
The ability to archive completed plans/project is important because of all the important conversations and history recorded with the project. If someone wanted to come back to a completed project and review comments and decisions that were made, the archive is essential.
The option to only delete a plan means you loose everything and all the benefit of tracking and collaborating with a team to begin with. Why do all of this if you will just loose it all.

Restrict Access to Assigned Plan or Bucket
As of now, if a user is assigned to a task, they are automatically added as members of an entire plan, and all subordinate buckets.
In events where buckets or tasks have some independence of one another, it would be great if members assigned to a given task were not automatically able to access all other tasks in the same bucket or all other buckets in the same plan.

Stop Planner creating a new email address for a private plan
Planner is a great collaborative tool but also very useful to use just on an individual basis for own tasks and responsibilities. However, if you create any new plan, it automatically creates a new email address for that plan that is immediately visible in the organisations address book/contact list in Outlook. It would be useful if you had the option just to use planner without it doing this.

"Your session has expired. Can you please sign in again? Sorry for any inconvenience" Box pops up every few minutes.
It is very annoying to have the session expired box continually pop up - even when actively using planner and creating/updaing tasks etc.
If this is to do with the auto refresh, can we at least have an option to turn the auto refresh off and manually sync.

User Defined Progress Descriptions
Allow more control over the Progress setting on a task.
For each plan / board the user should be able to manage the Progress stages allowing more control when tracking the state of a task.

Attach a URL link to local server, folder, or file.
Be able to drag file, folder or Server onto card and have Planner add the URL. This URL could then be clicked on by any team member and either Explorer/file manage shows the file/folder or IE, or browser of choice.
If dragging not possible, then be able to Browse for the item to be added, without adding as an attachment, but a link.
At the moment, cant' add links to local files on the PC, or Folders, or any server locations.
Ideal for task management where the files need to remain local (within the business) for security reasons.
Many orgs…
