You can have links to multiple plans – and clicking the link will take you to the plan – as you might expect: Once the link is made you get a link in the guide and a Planner icon in the grid.

The right hand screenshot below shows the result when a Group is chosen that has more than one plan – and also in this case is adding the assigned resource (Sara) as well as me. The project and the task need to have been published at this point to be able to make the link (You will get a message if they are not). Selecting the plan then tells you who will get added to the Group – if they are not already there – and these will be the assigned user and current user. You can see the link on the upper right – and clicking opens up the guide on the left.Ĭlicking the link gives a selection box for the Office 365 Group (not the Plan – as a Group can have more than one Plan – from Teams for example) and starting to type will find Groups that match the entered string Let’s take a look and think about how you might use this. The new link enables you to link a task in Project Online to a Plan in Microsoft Planner, assuming you have an Office 365 subscription that includes Planner. This is a feature only available for the subscription client – so don’t expect to see this in Project Professional 2016 if you own the perpetual license.


For those on the Office Insider builds – or First Release – you will already be seeing a new link in the ribbon for Tasks in Project Online Desktop Client.
