The PM can then see how progress is going and update the project task accordingly after reviewing the progress of tasks and possibly checklists in the plan. In this initial release it is purely a link вЂ“ so it enables the project manager to offload the tracking of that task to someone else who will be managing it in Planner.

NOTE: No new tasks get added to the plan - you can link to a plan with existing tasks or no tasks - but the action of linking does not add any tasks to the plan.Д«ut you canвЂ™t link two different task to the same plan вЂ“ and the thinking here is you wouldnвЂ™t know which task the plan progress was being made against if you linked one plan to two tasks: You can have links to multiple plans вЂ“ and clicking the link will take you to the plan вЂ“ 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 вЂ“ 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 вЂ“ if they are not already there вЂ“ and these will be the assigned user and current user. You can see the link on the upper right вЂ“ and clicking opens up the guide on the left.Д¬licking the link gives a selection box for the Office 365 Group (not the Plan вЂ“ as a Group can have more than one Plan вЂ“ from Teams for example) and starting to type will find Groups that match the entered string LetвЂ™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 вЂ“ so donвЂ™t expect to see this in Project Professional 2016 if you own the perpetual license. For those on the Office Insider builds вЂ“ or First Release вЂ“ you will already be seeing a new link in the ribbon for Tasks in Project Online Desktop Client.
