Hello!

Thank you again for your feedback and patience. We’re happy to announce that the schedule view of tasks is fully implemented and the iCalendar format feed is coming soon! Head over to tasks.office.com to check it out!

Here’s a link to our support article to learn more about viewing your tasks on a calendar: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/view-your-tasks-on-a-calendar-8647d2c9-9bc7-466a-b5b3-74b3596fade2?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US

If you’re still interested in an integration with Outlook, please follow along with the conversation on this thread: https://planner.uservoice.com/forums/330525-microsoft-planner-feedback-forum/suggestions/11037114-integration-with-outlook-tasks

We’d love to hear your thoughts on these two new features! Feel free to comment below, send us a smile through the O365 menu (select the question mark icon, click ‘feedback’, then include the word “Planner”), or tweet using #MicrosoftPlanner.

Cheers,

    I just created my first lot of tasks in Planner for a project I'm about to start. I then had to go over into my calender and re-enter in all the due dates. I wouldn't adopt a calender view in planner because when looking at your calender you want to whole picture of everything that is on. So have the start and due dates from Planner pushed across to your Outlook calender. This would be my top request.

    I would also appreciate a calendar view! And I would love if the calendar events on the group calendar would be integrated in the list of cards arranged by date. That way you can see all meetings and tasks related to a plan in one view

    I agree, MS has done a good job of "what", you need to deal with "when" a task is due and what tasks you have to complete "Today"

    This is crucial. Seems like there might be an add-in that does this, but this should be built in.

    A project has a calendar, but that calendar doesn't automatically get due dates placed on it. That's pretty crucial.

    The tasks assigned didn't show me on my calendar. What I have to do so my tasks appear to me? (These tasks are start date and deadline). Or it isn't working very well?

    I think it should be fixed.

    Alternatively, making the gantt chart for the tasks and including calendar events on that may be sufficient solution.

    The Calendar view should be for the tasks not the users within the group. Or have two separate calendars for tasks and groups so they are able to see the task due for the day, week, and month view.

    This would be an amazing add-in. Editorial Calendars are huge in my company. I would love for their to be an option within Office 365 as a substitute.

    I think there's another thread about task priority. I think that would be helpful. All of the tasks in my plan all effectively have the same priority, because there is no priority field.

    I guess you could use the labels to designate priority values, but I use them for different phases of my projects: Discovery, Implementation, Training and so forth. That makes them unavailable for priority. The labels don't make a great deal of sense for use as priority, though, since you can have multiple labels attached to a single task. Having priority as a drop-down within the task window with at least three configurable selections would be handy: High, Medium, Low. Having more priority options -- like Show-Stopper above High, or Negligible/Nice to Have below Low -- would be gravy.

    In addition to effort tag the task Start End Date with a priority - High - Medium - Low (R/A/Y) Quick Fix. Getting too complicated?
