Question details

Users are unable to locate the Kanban board view, Assigned to Me, Hub, filtering, grouping, and bulk-update features in Microsoft Planner's My Tasks following a recent web redesign.

Product: Microsoft Planner
Device & OS: not provided
Scenario: Attempting to visually organize, filter, and track cross-plan progress for assigned tasks in the My Tasks interface.
Observed behavior: The redesigned Planner interface removed several core My Tasks capabilities, including the Kanban board view, keyword filtering, and cross-plan My Day, leaving users without built-in workarounds.

Before you start

Verify that you are using the latest web version of Microsoft Planner, and check if your organization's Microsoft 365 administrator has enabled targeted release features that might alter your interface.

Solution 1Recommended

Submit a Feature Request via the Microsoft Feedback Portal

Since the Kanban view and grouping features were intentionally removed during the redesign, the only official path to restoration is submitting direct user feedback to Microsoft.

Microsoft frequently adjusts feature availability based on user demand. While there is no immediate technical workaround within Planner's My Tasks, logging a formal request helps the development team prioritize bringing the Kanban view back.

Open Microsoft Planner

Access the Feedback Tool

Click on the 'Help' (question mark) icon or the dedicated 'Feedback' icon located in the top-right corner of the navigation bar.

Detail the Missing Features

Select 'I have a suggestion' or 'Report a problem'. Explicitly list the removed features impacting your workflow, such as the Kanban board, Hub, Assigned to Me bucket, keyword filtering, and bulk due-date updates, then click Submit.

No Built-in Workaround: Responses on the feedback portal indicate that Microsoft has not provided an immediate alternative method to view My Tasks as a Kanban board within the Planner web app.

Solution 2

Use Microsoft To Do as a Temporary Task Manager

While Planner's My Tasks lacks advanced filtering and 'My Day' integration, you can still view and filter your Planner assignments through Microsoft To Do.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the Kanban view disappear from Planner's My Tasks?

Microsoft recently rolled out a redesigned Planner web experience aimed at streamlining the interface. Unfortunately, this update intentionally removed several capabilities from the My Tasks view, including the Kanban board, grouping views, and cross-plan progress tracking.

Can I revert to the old Microsoft Planner interface?

No, Microsoft does not provide an option for end-users to roll back to the classic Planner interface once the redesign has been applied to their tenant account.

How can I update multiple tasks at once without the bulk-update feature?

Since the bulk assignment and due-date update features were removed from the My Tasks view, you must currently open each task individually to modify its details, or update them directly within their specific plan boards where some bulk features may still reside.
