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.

    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

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

    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.

    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.
