Gantt chart view
I want to be able to make tasks dependent on other tasks, and see them in a Gantt chart view.

Hi everyone,
We recently announced and rolled out the new Microsoft Project, which was designed specifically to help teams of all sizes collaborate on projects more efficiently and achieve more together. It was designed to be simple and powerful, so that anyone can get started quickly and take control of any project – regardless of its size – right away.
The new Microsoft Project has been redesigned. You can see your tasks on a Gantt chart (“Timeline”) view, a Board view (similar to Planner’s), and a Grid view, both requested from many of our Planner users. I encourage you to look at the links below and the attached GIF for a sneak peak.
With this, we also rolled out a new subscription plan called “Project Plan 1” that allows you to start quickly and manage projects easily via the web browser.

Thanks everyone for your patience, I encourage you to check out the new Project, and even start a trial to see if it’s right for you!
Best,
The Project and Planner team

I agree with David below, the office 365 system is not worth it for project management. Even Trello handles it better.

From Microsoft MVP Matt Wade's article " Which Tool When:..."
"One thing you won’t see in any of these tools is Gantt chart functionality. This is likely because Microsoft Project—Microsoft’s premium project management tool—promotes this as a core functionality and they don’t want to cannibalize their own premium app...
...you need to start looking at other tools because it’s unlikely Microsoft will provide fully featured Gantt charts into Planner or Lists."

As a business we pay tens of thousands a year for our o365 licenses. Not having a GANTT in Planner is a pure cash cow.
Microsoft, please listen to your user-base and fix this.

We do not want or need Project.
We want another view of Planner but from a Gantt chart view. We use Planner for higher-level planning.

FYI, I created a Planner Gantt Chart app with Power Apps. You can use it to view your Planner tasks on a gantt chart. It's a Power Apps canvas app that you can download and publish in your organization - free to use.

Adding my voice to everyone else's here. Project is not in our subscription. The organisation will not get it and can't afford it. All we want is a gantt view in Planner and/or support for the Tasks SharePoint list in Teams so we can use the gantt view from that (all the built in Lists only offer a calendar view). What you offer here is not a solution.

Planner can be a good tool, but as many said, not implementing the Gantt chart is just non-sense... MS Project is fantastic, but its a totally different product, definetly too complex for most of us, and so not worth the expense. I hope planner will be updated with Gantt chart, but as it is, it's nothing worth our time. Will look for some competitor solution instead...

been trying for couple of times to get back to planner just to see whether I could manage simple team tasks or simple product roadmaps. Nothing extensive. Lack of availability of a yearly, monthly schedule (simple gant) is just misserable.
In my company we have an option to order MS project, but after reading this decided not to do it and stick to my planning in excel. burn in **** MS planner product owner I will not share my money with you. -

This is just a simple scheduler that doesn't need the complexities of Project. Please provide a Gantt chart view like you have in SharePoint.

Thanks admin for your update (Dec 2019) but this topic is about Planner, not MS Project, right?
We use Office365 but do not have Project license included.
I am diappointed that you can't use gannt and sub tasks in Planner (which is "just" kanban board) or Microsoft To Do or Miscrosoft List

I am so disappointed that we don't get a Gantt chart view in Teams for business

Can MS Project flow directly to MS To-Do?

I know of two workplaces who were considering moving to Planner (Tasks or whatever it will eventually be called) but were frustrated with the obscurity on the roadmap, desktop app removal and, esp., no Gantt chart capability. Most work teams do NOT need the complexity of 'Project' and often cannot justify the cost. Microsoft, as so many others have stated in the comments, ADD the Gantt chart, please! As others have commented, other products have had this feature and look very good - but are not integrated with other products like MS Office. Many of us love MS products but a frustrated that the management do not see that annoying folks over what seems a small request can cause them loss of revenue and supportive client base. Kind regards, Ken

Signed up for this uservoice just to say this is dumb. We ask for the functionality, they promise it's in the works, and then roll it into another service that is not bundled with our subscription.
