We are thrilled to share that, in the coming weeks, we’ll start rolling out the new Microsoft Planner for the web! We first announced the new Planner last November at Microsoft Ignite, and this past April, we launched the first version of the new Planner app in Microsoft Teams.

Thank you for using the new Planner experience and sharing your helpful feedback! We’ve been hard at work addressing your top feedback, including bringing the new Planner to the web endpoint.

The new Planner for the web

When rolled out to your organization, users with a Microsoft 365 license who visit Planner for the web at  https://planner.cloud.microsoft will receive the new Microsoft Planner experience, bringing together the simplicity of Microsoft To Do, the collaboration of Microsoft Planner, the power of Microsoft Project for the web and the intelligence of Microsoft Copilot into a simple, familiar experience with a rich set of capabilities for individual and team work management. These include:

The ability to access all your plans, projects and to do lists in a single place
Access all your tasks assigned to you within My Tasks and manage your priorities in a My Day view
Manage and coordinate work using various plan views (Grid, Board, Charts, Schedule and more)!

Experiencing premium capabilities in the new Planner for the web

When we roll out Planner for the web, you’ll be able to experience premium features similar to how it works in the new Planner in Teams.  You’ll be able to click on the diamond icon within the app where you can begin your free 30-day trial of these advanced capabilities or proceed with requesting a premium license. Some premium features include Copilot (Preview), Timeline (Gantt) view, dependencies, sprints, custom fields, task history, team workload, managing goals, and more! If you already have a Project license, you’re already equipped with access to the new Planner’s premium capabilities corresponding to the license you have. 

Early access to the new Planner for the web

As part of the new Planner for the web rollout, Planner will support Targeted release. This will allow tenants opted-in to Targeted release to be the first production users to see the new Planner for the web – we’re excited for you to try it out and share your early feedback! If your tenant is already enrolled in Targeted release, stay tuned for updates and you’ll get access as soon as the new Planner for the web starts rolling out. Please note that Planner only supports Targeted release for entire organizations, we currently don’t support Targeted release for selected users.  

If you’d like to learn more about joining Targeted release to get early access to the new Planner for the web, reach out to your IT admin about enrolling your organization.
