How can we make Planner better?

View completed tasks in Bucket chart

We want to be able to see Completed tasks in the 'Bucket' chart. It makes no sense to hide them!

Also, could the completed tasks not be crossed out, so they're easier to read once completed.

Thanks

    This comment is a personal opinion (albeit based on professional experience) and does not represent the State of California or any agencies thereof.

    The default functionality is anti-pattern for EVERY taskboard-/radiator-based work management process ever. The status of doneness is indicated by the giant checkmark icon in the top-left of the card. There is zero reason to hide the card; when we want to do that, we can move them into a non-contextual bucket (e.g. "Archive").

    This should function like a physical board. What you've done is like if a team member moved a post-it from "Doing" and put it in a shoe box instead of "Done." You wouldn't expect a physical board to have zero post-its in the Done column. Making a product decision to hide this information makes me seriously question Teams' understanding of adaptive development.

    We are trying really hard to use Planner, but this is just one more thing that puts it well behind Trello and similar. It's, just, --shocking-- that someone went out of their way to write code for this functionality, and then a product owner decided to make it the default behavior. If you got that request from a decision-maker, then you're allowing the wrong audience to be decision-makers for this problem space.

    I don't mind the completed tile being crossed out, it's gratifying and a nice visual if the list is long.

    I think it's silly to offer seeing the completed bucket graph view in the phone app and not on desktop. Please fix this and add it to the desktop. Very helpful for reporting a department's progress through any given project.

    Additionally - can you add a date range to choose from? I would like to see all the tasks (in the Bucket Graph) for the month of October (Completed, Inprogress, Late, Not Started).

    This is mandatory for proper organization... I do not understand how it is not by default the case...

    Please show completed activity in charts so you can demonstrate how far you've come as well as whats left to do! major moral booster and necessary for progress and Leadership meetings!

    Please add this functionality for PC view to. It makes no sense to hide that on charts.

    I agree with all of the previous comments.
    Please bring the completed tasks in the bucket chart

    What makes it worse is when you download the app on your phone you can select to show completed tasks and it works perfectly. Just cant see where to do that on the PC

    Please allow me to see on graph (not just numbers) how many tasks have been completed. It kills my kanban board when I try to move tasks from left (not started) to right (completed) and the graph shows no completed tasks even though we have completed quite a few. Graphical representation is important, or even a requirement, for briefings to leadership personnel. Thank you!

    The completed tasks should be shown to enable teams to have the complete picture, please fix this

    Managing task and keeping an overview of tasks also includes an overview of what has been completed.
    Please fix this!

    Being able to evaluate how many tasks certain staff members have completed in a given period of time is CRITICAL to our business. Very surprised this wasn't considered to be there in version 1.0.
