Is there a more premium version of planner that includes integration with Outlook Calendar?
Microsoft project management software used to plan, manage, and communicate a project schedule and other information among workgroup members, project managers, and other stakeholders.
AI answer
No. Outlook Calendar integration is listed as a basic plan capability, not a premium one.
From the feature comparison:
Premium plans add advanced project features such as Timeline, People view, dependencies, milestones, custom fields, and custom calendars, but Outlook Calendar integration is not one of the premium-only features.
Also, admins can enable or disable Outlook calendar sync for Planner across the organization by using PowerShell.

Hello @D Drury
The feature to integrate Planner plan and Outlook Calendar was deprecated by Microsoft in January 2026, and the retirement was announced in advance during 2025. As a result, this functionality is no longer available in Microsoft Planner.
