It’s April 25th, I’ve been working with the new Planner in Teams for a couple of weeks now, and I have 2 main issues so far. These apply to the new Planner within Teams desktop for Windows:

Within the Planner app in Teams, my pinned plans are not staying pinned. Not just from one day to the next or when I close and restart Teams (which, TBH, would still be annoying), but they literally unpin themselves within minutes sometimes even when I’ve left Teams open. STILL NO BUILT-IN INTEGRATION WITH OUTLOOK! Flagged emails showing in My Tasks is basically USELESS to me, because Flagged Email Tasks can’t be moved to Planner plans, which is where we keep track of the majority of our work. I have coworkers who are married to email and get lots of work requests and to-dos from email that are related to my team’s Planner plans/projects. (Yes, there are ways to use Power Automate to get around this, but I am honestly still shocked that after all the talk we heard of “a unified experience with the new Planner,” this BASIC function is still not built-in from the get-go.)

If anyone has fixes for these, please let me know. Otherwise, Microsoft please help!
