How can we make Planner better?

Central roll up of all tasks across all plans to see manage overall workload

A roll up of tasks from all Plans, or the ability to link plans and then roll up those tasks into a central graph to allow a manager to oversee the task volume allocated to a team

    This would be really helpful. Having the ability to select (ie 1, many or all plans as you execute the rolled up view would make my life easier and help me sell the adoption of Teams to other teams.

    This is essential for management to see quickly how things are going.

    Yes, this is an absolute no brainer. As a senior manager, I have easily 100+ plans to monitor across multiple managers. We must have some ability to view all of this holistically. This request is as obvious as needing templates! Come on MS!!

    Agreed! This would move this tool from a consumer tool to something more useful for business. Combined with moving cards between boards, powerful!

    A roll-up is essential for teams with contributors working tasks in multiple plans.

    Rather than a single, centralized roll-up, a chart that shows the tasks within a date range for selected contributors on selected plans would be more useful.

    Priority 1: If I have someone working task on multiple plans, I need to see what tasks that person is completing this week for each of those plans.

    Priority 2: For a particular project, a roll-up of all tasks being delivered within a given date range (i.e. this week).

    Priority 3: A roll-up of tasks being delivered across all plans by all contributors for a given date range.

    Especially when used in Teams with Channels that use the Planner Tab. The Channels feature helps divide up the work topics in a team, so a rollup would be nice.
