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.

This is a major barrier to MS Planner being utilised in our organisation and it is likely we will need to look to another solution to do this.
Any indiciation if this will be developed and what timeline that might be?

As many have stated previously, assigning checklist items (or sub-tasks) would be extremely beneficial for teams. Sometimes a project has several large tasks that require multiple people to complete and being able to assign the individual pieces of work to individuals allows us to better track our work.

This now makes Planner the right solution for those who can't, shouldn't and won't use/buy MS Project

This is critical functionality. One task can be performed by several people and their responses shall be tracked individually.

Assigning sub-tasks to individuals is a crucial requirements for us. As you have received over 503 votes to get this feature developed, I think it is time to get it done. After verifying on the Microsoft Roadmap for Items for Planner, there are only 4 items on the development roadmap. I have encouraged our internal staff to user Planner over Asana but, lacking this functionality will prevent many of our users to adopt Planner.

The lack of assigning a checklist item to a specific person is keeping us with Asana as well.

Please provide some indication of when this will be added on the roadmap, as without checklist task assignment, adoption of planner is a nonstarter for us. Asana has had this for years.

Sub tasks is an absolute must have. I’ve even tried setting up different buckets for projects but you can’t see the bucket name in the schedule. It’s about as much use as a chocolate fire guard.

For us this is a must to be able to use planner, which I would like. Ideal would be to have subtask templates as well. Subtasks should tracked in charts summary.

Having due date and people assigned into checklist item/subtask would help a lot!

Any Project Manager will tell you having an ability to assign sub-tasks to different people is a must have within any decent Project Management tool. Please work on bringing this functionality.

Very excited about using Planner because it is not so detailed that we spend more time tracking than doing. But it would be extremely helpful to be able to assign a checklist item to another person on my team! Please consider this as a new feature in Planner. Thanks!
