Multiple Boards Per Plan
It'd be really nice to be able to add and manage multiple boards for a given plan. I'm thinking different boards for different work streams, backlog boards, building out boards for different sprints, etc.
I think this fits better into the 1-to-1 Group-to-Plan setup that you've already built than the multiple plans per group request, though that would be a work around for this kind of thing if you can move tasks between plans.

Wish list - being able to move buckets in to groups a/k/a a board so that they can be more streamlined - not to mention ability to free up screen space. We have too many buckets to manage and have found team members are very frustrated with having to scroll left and right. It would also be nice to have more than one row to display the buckets... A bucket may only have a couple tasks and another bucket has several... make the buckets display more dynamically (give option to owners).

This is a needed aspect of Planner and Teams to be competitive case against Trello, Asana and Slack. It makes convincing the team that we should spend more money on those systems if this isn't included in the 365 package.
Thanks,

This is a must have feature. I am super disappointed that you can't do this. I can't see how this is at all useful with out this capability.

This feature must happen. We have different projects within a plan and need to segregate them using different boards. It would also be good if we can complete one and be able to close it somehow so that we can still refer back to it when needed.

If multiple boards can't happen then at least hide unselected buckets when filtering by bucket. Currently if you apply a filter on the bucket it hides the bucket contents but not the buckets themselves - so if, for example, you're filtering because you want to see 2 buckets side by side it doesn't help.

I agree Trello is a far better alternative until this is changed. For every group I have to open a seperate conversation to keep up woith commetns becuase MS planner can't direct coments into my inbox which makesit unusable.

My boss wants me to use Planner rather than Trello but I just can't imagine how to work with a single board !!!

This would be a huge help to what I need to do and would enable a move away from Trello.

I concur. This is an extremely useful feature when brainstorming and dealing with focus groups.

I would like to see Swimline feature like I've saw in Wekan.

This is almost a deal breaker. When opening a planner from sharepoint, I can only have one planner?

Multiple boards would be necessary to have different view on the tasks:
By release
By sprint
By feature

Multiple Boards per plan or group is essential. Why a different group for every board, or even a different group necessary for every plan?

This would be essential. Experience should be consistent with that of MS teams.

I wholeheartedly agree with the other commenters. We're creating groups for each client. Unfortunately, with multiple projects running at the same time for a client, our boards get a bit messy. While it makes a lot of sense to have separate groups for some projects, it greatly expands the number of channels we have to watch.
While the current setup makes the most sense in organizations with clean divisions between teams and projects, it doesn't jive as well in a small group with every person sharing a role in every project. Likewise, I see this posing a bigger challenge when we are able to invite our customers to participate in the boards since we work with small companies where each employee wears many hats.

I was surprised to see this feature missing. When I tried to create a new board, Office 365 created a new Group. That made zero sense to me. I didn't want a new group. I needed a new task board to further organize tasks within my existing group.
This is how Trello works. This is how Planner should work. Groups -> Boards -> Tasks. Boards do not equal Groups, yet that is how Planner works currently and that simply doesn't work at all for us.

This would be really helpful for us. If a plan is going to be the same as an O365 group then we would need to have multiple boards as the way we use groups doesn't map to a single project per group.
