How can we make Planner better?

← Microsoft Planner - Feedback Forum

Track percent complete for in progress tasks.

Currently the only status on the task is in progress, not started, completed, or late (if you assign a due date). It would be nice to have a percent complete entry for in progress tasks. I nice slider bar visual would be a good way to set it. This way it also opens it up for integration with other systems (like Project Online) to rollup percent complete of the plan to a high level task in Project Online.

    It is a needed feature.
    I know the feature is developed, but you can only use it through poweautomate scripts, but in daily basis, people who has a task assigned to them cannot modify the feature.
    So please be kind enough to provide user interface to manipulate percentComplete values.

    Please add this functionality. This will be a big help to keep track of tasks.
    I would be fine with the values: 0%; 25%¨; 50%;75%

    Can`t see the request status flag. Can you let us know what state it is in as per your classification:

    1. UNDER REVIEW: The feature request is under consideration.

    2. PLANNED: Our product team has planned to develop this feature.

    3. WORKING ON IT: The feature is under development.

    4. STARTED: The feature is available.

    I need this. Perhaps they think a % progress would compete with Project. Not sure what that says about Project.

  • Enrico commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    If the percent complete is not an option please leave to users a field where enter their own % lof completation or some specific milestones to the task.

    I would expand this to request the enable a user to create a template that can be used as a planner card. This isn't much different than like in MS Forms. However, if they just want to add specific fields to planner cards I would add % complete as well as an estimated LOE (numeric or alpha) to each of the attached people resources.

    Its been 4 years since the idea is shared here, still not implemented. Not sure if Microsoft understands the importance of user's feedback. This is a must have feature is a Task management platform.

    Percentage of completion and display of efforts burnt and pending efforts are the needed basic statistics.. Please include them.. or shall i program a plugin and include it possibly?
    An inprogress is a status accompanied by amount of completion.. or some quantifiable value..

    I like to have the percent complete visible on card (optional).
    The possibility to sort via percent complete would be nice, too.

    Also it would be great to have a custom "progress" or more options like PAUSED, WAITING FOR TASK X to complete (with auto change to specific progress like in progress),

  • Brett commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    If the percent complete is not an option, what about a free form list. Users can create say up to 5-6 levels of progress.
    1. 0%
    2. 20%
    3. 40%
    4. 60%
    5. 80%
    6. 100%

    enter your own % levels or some specific milestones to the task.

  • Oliver Raduner commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I'd like to DOWNvote this requirement. % estimates always needs a common understanding in the team anyway, to represent the actual progress. Therefore I am very happy to just have "Open", "Active" and "Done".
