    Yes please! When is this happening? I need to be able to add estimate of workhours to task. Or I will have to continue double-working with a kanbanboard... Also would be nice to be able to have personal planners.

    Create custom task fields, Copy / Move Tasks from one Plan to another including Attachments plus Since MS Planner content is ultimately stored in SharePoint, can a SharePoint/InfoPath form submission create a new task automatically in Planner (then we can tweak it as needed)?

    Such a simple thing to add but a real barrier to adoption for serious agile teams... quick win, low hanging fruit etc etc.

    I think lacking estimation (hours or story points or at least T-Shirt sizing) is a big draw back because I need it to estimate how many tasks can fit in to a day or a period, and I need it to see if I shall break up a large task to a smaller one, and I need it to fit things into daily focus or to a sprint.

    I agree with @Julian Knight, we use Trello Plus heavily and it's exactly what Planner needs to work for Agile\Kanban project. This missing feature is only reason we haven't switched to Planner from Trello. We have tried Estimations Plugin for Microsoft Planner for Chrome, but it's a little too light-weight in comparison.

    This is a big one for us. A time estimate and then tracking time entries on it so we can see where we are relative to the estimate.

    Absolutely need to be able to add estimated and actual time for tasks.

  • Barry White commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Adding an Estimate & Actual Field To a Task is critical, Needs to be available via an API (or Flow) also for integration with Professional Automation & Billing Systems

    I too would like the ability to add estimate or points to a task. Similar to Trello.

    Totally agree. See "Trello Plus" for a great example of how to make this work. Low friction for users, easy to use.
