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

The inability to manage resource assignments across multiple plans makes Planner more of a risk than a solution.

As a manager, I would like to have a status overview of all the tasks by Team member, by plan.
This would be great for follow up actions.
Over different Teams would even be better. -

Resource Managers need to see all of the Tasks across plans assigned from separate teams while agreeing to workloads and prioritizing workloads across multiple teams. Resourcing meetings would be much easier if a 'My Tasks' view were available to the Resource manager for all of their resources (people)...a 'Tim's Tasks', 'Steve's tasks', etc.

I would expect a view in Kanban style (same as the unitary plan view, including the same filters) but displaying all tasks across multiple channels, plus a filter by plan (with multi-selection) and the ability to save the filter settings to use them as a collection of presets.

Most of the time, people work on multiple projects at the same time. This feature is a must to easily manage workload across projects for any individual person.

Have a calendar view to be able to see all the tasks of all members it's a must! Otherwise, as a project manager, I won't be able to know for that month which members are available to do other tasks.

Planner and teams quickly become a collection of inscrutable silos without the ability to look at tasks for other users and across plans.
I need to be able to view and search for what people have on their plate as a coordinator, manager and peer, before deciding who to assign tasks to. The "My Tasks" view is useful, but seeing what's assigned to someone else is key to making this Planner more viable in the real world of multiple plans and multiple teams. -

Knowing about the workload of every member of a Team in all the plans is a essencial feature please do it as fast as you can. Otherwise we are blind.

We create new channels for large-scale projects, and each project has a lot of recurring deliverables (new PowerPoints, one-pagers, emails, etc.). Managers and department heads need to be able to see at a glance what their teams are working on across ALL projects without opening each one individually or creating a redundant catch-all Planner and asking people to update tasks twice.

We are missing this to be able to see ALL our tasks in one view! When available ?

It's quite surprising that this view still hasn't been incorporated.
The main scenario would be managers assigning tasks to their teams: if they can't see the team's real-time existing task allocations, they will assign new tasks with the wrong info, resulting in suboptimal allocation.

Couldn't agree more. Managers need to quickly see what employees are working on or behind on. Can't manage timelines and projects effectively without this. Takes too long to go into each project individually.

This is crazy to me that we can not view all tasks assigned to individual team members across all plans. MS really dropped the ball on this one

I have my staff in 1 group, and each project we work on or program we support is a different plan. Would like to be able to see how much I'm putting on each staff member by filtering on assigned to from the hub.

I have a program of work that is worked on by multiple teams. Each team has its own Planner. As a program we want to see a consolidated planner view of all work done by the multiple teams.

To the Planner Team:
This item has 4168 votes already and you have done nothing about it (as far as I can see)?
How many votes will it take before a solution from the developers is communicated to users?
Or is this forum a waste of our time? -

On overview is simply is a must have to ensure efficient work flows. Just started with teams but will have to hold back roll out until this functionality exists.
