Microsoft Planner Premium Dependencies Between Plans

Hi Low,

Thank you for your question.

Planner Premium supports advanced task dependencies, but these dependencies are limited to tasks within the same plan. At this time, there is no built-in option to create a direct scheduling dependency between tasks in separate Premium plans.

As a workaround, you could consolidate the related tasks into one Premium plan and use buckets, summary tasks, milestones, or custom fields to separate the different projects or workstreams.

If cross-plan dependencies are important to your workflow, you may also consider submitting this suggestion through the Planner Community. This will allow the product team to review the request for possible consideration in future updates.

I hope this helps clarify the current functionality. Should you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to share them in the comment below. I'm very happy to help.
