How can we make Planner better?

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.

    Team, as you can see this idea has been brought to your attention since 2016. It would greatly benefit our team and management as this is a common question that is asked by executives. Have an algorithm that calculates based on sub tasks (opened/total).
    Im sure speaking for everyone an update would be appreciated.

    Yes this is much needed. I also don't understand why when using a power automate flow to bring in tasks from an excel file, to update progress you need to use a number from 0-100 (0 = Not Started, 100 = Compelted and everything in between = "In Progress').

    There is clearly already a 'number' (%) based system enabled, it's just not displayed. This should be an easy fix no?

    Please add this capability! Also, please enable us to customize each task to include multiple iterations of a task (e.g. levels of review).

    redundant with "Add new progress descriptions" even if there the new concept has a real additional value

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Progress percentages, task dependencies & sub-tasks seem like obvious features that should be on the product roadmap.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Agreed!
    Also would be great of the percentages are consolidated in the data tab for each bucket of tasks.
    Perhaps the checklist is where the percentages are referenced?

    Having the capability to track the percentage of task completed would really help in presenting a picture to stakeholders. Current reporting options are not that helpful.

    I completely agree with this request. Seems like a simple and obvious feature to include. Even a simple integer that the user enters manually would be a big improvement.

  • Xavier Sanchez commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    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.
