How can we make Planner better?

← Microsoft Planner - Feedback Forum

Assign checklist item to specific individuals

This would be great to have when it's a bigger task that has several folks working on specific elements of it.

    For me, in the top three shortcomings:
    - assign a person to a checklist item (sub task)
    - have recurring tasks
    - link tasks between plans

  • Kelli SC commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    AGREED 100% Also include checklist due dates so that planner can help manage OKRs better.

  • Peter D commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Well a checklist is not sufficient for bigger tasks. There should be Sub-Tasks as well. Take a look at Bitrix24 ;-)

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please add the possibility to assign a checklist item to a specific person with a specific due date within one task.

  • Daniel commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I agree checklist tasks need to be full Sub-Tasks with ability to assign to members and to set a due date & due time (due date as a minimum)

  • Jörg Brüggemann commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes, PLEASE. There is still the question on when to work in a conversation and when collaborate in a task. But at least it would be much easier, to use the one single for more complex tasks

    Please, please, please make it possible to assign check list items to specific individuals and set individual deadlines 🙏🏻

  • George commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Just a bump, this feature would be value adding. Especially with a deadline.

  • Brad Grainge commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please include the ability to -
    . add subtasks,
    . to breakout checklist items into subtasks,
    . to be able to elevate substasks to tasks,
    . add dates to checklist items.

  • Chris McAllister commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    A big nod for the need to have subtasks that are assignable to individuals with due dates that roll up in to their plan and show the connection between the Plan -> Bucket -> Task for easy sorting and reporting.

  • Todd Howe commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please include dates and assignments to checklist items.

    Also increase the number of allowable checklist items

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This tool will not truly work for us - coordinating activity across multiple departments and teams with multiples deadlines - unless we can add subtasks to tasks, assign them to individuals and add due dates.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This requirement goes a long way in adoption across our org and partners (guests on the plan)

  • Peter commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Also using a third-party tool instead of planner, due to the lack in this functionality.

    With Trello you can assign a responsible to a checklist item AND give checklist items deadlines!!

    How do we get this moved up in priority? This is really one of the only reasons I don't use Microsoft Planner and use a third-party tool.
