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.

    Please add this function!! It would make life much easier instead of also having to create tasks in email to track progress percentage - it's duplication which is an unproductive time waster!!

    This feature would be very useful , especially to track the progress without checking out the details.

    Bearing in mind the years of experience Microsoft has in developing MS Project, I cannot believe MS Planner was launched with so much functionality missing. Percentage % complete is a no brainer and should be very quick and simple to include.

    It would be nice if it was possible to add own status/progress. There are many ways of using this field and a lot of stuff would be cool, but just to be able to add own status/progress would rock

    Also for us, just having a status progress for a task is not sufficient. We would like to have either the option to enter percentage of completion in each task (10% steps would be ok), or e.g. an icon showing the progress. Currently there is only the half filled circle, that looks like 50% are done wihtin a task. Having two more icons - one for 25% and one for 75% would be OK as well if the percentage field would not be offered. With a more detailed information on progress, the diagrams and charts could show this.

    This feature would be great and perhaps necessary to have. If I could vote more, I would.

    One nice thing about Planner is its simplicity compared to MS Project, but the percent complete feature would really enhance it's usefulness.

    With the addition of viewing the schedule, the % complete options would be really useful particularly if you could visually track progress on the calendar. This would make it a really useful for project tracking as well.
