Enterprise capability for Planner
Right now Planner is very limited as an enterprise solution. Every plan/project is in its own silo and one can’t manage resources, tasks or projects outside of a small team. The following features would be a big step forward in terms of enterprise capability:
Resource management across multiple projects. As a minimum it should be possible to view the Assignments and Charts tabs across a whole group, not just a single plan. Similar for People and Goals tabs would also be useful.Task dependencies between different projectsTask requests into a project, allowing outside the project team to make a request that the Project Manager needs to acceptAllowing a task to be in more than one project (could be similar to the above)
Other items that would be helpful:
“Sticky” views, with the current state of filters, group by, zoom, date range etc retained between sessionsBulk update of tasksMoving tasks between projectsKeeping effort constant when duration of a task is changedAllowing top-level tasks to connect to Goals
