View All Tasks Assigned To a Single Person
Currently tasks can be viewed by Assigned To only within a particular Project. It would be helpful to search globally in Planner by Assigned To rather than having to review assignments Plan by Plan. This change would make evaluation of workloads much easier.

Thanks for sharing your feedback.
We would like to hear more about how you would utilize this view. If you have a particular scenario or set of teammates for which you’d like to view tasks for, please share below!
Cheers,
The Planner Team

It would really be nice to have this option. I work in industry and have created a team for my maintenance employees and under that a channel for each line or area. within each line or area I have one or more planner tabs for project items. I would like to be able to look at this from the team level in order to see what tasks are assigned to individual team members across all channels. I am currently looking into clickUp to accomplish this, but it would be great if I could just have one platform that meets my needs. Judging by the length of this thread I am not the only one.....

In Basecamp 2, I'm able to look at everyone on our team by clicking on "everyone" then clicking on an individual's name to see all tasks assigned to that person. Would like that feature with Planner. I can't stand Basecamp, and really like Planner. But I know my boss loves that Basecamp feature to see who she needs to assign a new project to but not overload someone who already has too many projects at that time.

Agreed, this post is 2 yrs old and this feature is still not available. I would say it's necessary. What is the status?

Use case for this topic: team manager needs to have an overview of workload both in terms of scheduling and volume for individual team members who in turn are involved in various projects, many of which can be within external teams which are managed in different msplanner instances. Supporting this would be a big step forward in the development of this very user friendly tool.

We are 10 people working on our 20 projects/plans simultaneously. As a project manager, I need to be able to review and check how these plans add up on each team member. Right now, I would have to ask each member to share their "my tasks" view by grabbing as screenshot of it, which does not cut it, I want to be able to help my college re-prioritize if task have stacked up and are not getting delivered according to due dates.

We build teams and plans by clients (accounting firm). I am the Project manager. I need to see everything everyone is working on at a glance.
Maybe I feel like Sue, my employee, can't prioritize. I want to be able to see ALL of Sue's tasks in one location and then help her figure out where she needs to begin and watch her progress. -

Im a PMO at my organization and this feature is super important to PMs since when we are doing group review and often we need to drill down to per person level across all projects, this is very painful to filter through each projects. Just simply not very efficient!

I think a more generic solution (that would easily meet this request) is to extend the "Filter" drop down (which already exists in the top right of Board, Charts, and Schedule views)to include a "Plan" subsection, to complement the existing subsections of "Priority", "Label", "Bucket", and "Assignment". Check-marking to filter by multiple plans would allow for general cross-plan reporting, and if all Plans were checked-marked, you could then filter by user (using the existing functionality of the Filter drop-down) and see all tasks assigned to a single person. Thanks.

Starting to use Planner. Loading my on-going projects and other future projects then want to share it with my Supervisor which seems to be an intuitive way to let him know where my workload stands and how busy I am. I guess I can't easily do that. Voted.

Agree with all of the below comments. If I want to evaluate how one of my employees is keeping up with projects, I don't want to have to remember which projects she is working on and go through every single project one by one. Seems easy enough to grant permission to a project administrator to see all tasks and be able to filter by person.

if i have a team working on different projects and i am managing many different projects accross many different people it would be nice to be able to select a person on my team and just view their tasks as we can with my tasks.
Much better for 121 meetings and individual coaching. -

I totally agree. We can have 6 or 7 live projects (Teams) at once and seeing the tasks assigned to one person across all the teams so that we can be sure they are not overloaded would be really useful. This functionality is available in Jira, and we miss this now we have moved over to planner in teams

I have the same need. I am an estate lawyer with a paralegal. Using Matter 365, I create a group for each matter. I have about 40 open right now. That will probably grow to 50. I assign my paralegal the task of drafting documents after each matter/group is created. I need to be able to see how many uncompleted tasks she has and which ones are behind without having to open each of the 40 to 50 matters.

I have various projects for my team that are each scheduled with planner. I would like a consolidated view so I can see if I've got tasks and schedules conflicting with one another.

This would be an extremely important feature. I'm surprised it doesn't exist. We have a clunky workaround where each team member prints out a screenshot of their current tasks and puts it on the boss's desk.
Please notify me when this feature is added to Teams. Thanks

He. We have many teams working on different planners. We need a way to produce a high level roll-up report/dashboard for our leaderhsip team. This exec dashboard would use data from all the individual Planner boards. Is this feature going to be developed and released by Microsoft anytime soon?

Project Managers need to see if people/resources are evenly loaded across Teams and Plans. Seeing everything that Person A is working on (across teams and plans) would be very useful when planning resource utilization. This is just one of many Cross Team and Cross Plan reports/charts/roll-ups that would be useful. Thank you.

Do you read all the comments? I think it speaks for itself that in order to be a collboration tool. You need to be able to see other peoples tasks as a project manager.

Would it be possible for the Planner Hub to have charts (similar to each individual Plan's charts) to display everyone's tasks? The layout's already there, there just needs to be a Planner Charts that takes all the tasks from each plan and combines them in one space.
