Linking Project Online Desktop client with Planner

Hello @Janet Donbavand,

Thank you for your question.

Based on my research, there is currently no native or built‑in way to directly link or export a project plan from Project Online Desktop client to Microsoft Planner. This behavior is by design, as these two tools are intended for different types of projects and tasks management, and they do not provide a direct integration path out of the box.

I understand this can be frustrating when trying to keep work aligned across tools, especially when both licenses are available. While Microsoft does support using Project and Planner within the same ecosystem, there is no native feature that allows plans or tasks to be automatically exported or synchronized between them.

That said, some customers have explored alternative approaches using Power Automate to create custom flows as a workaround. These solutions are not officially supported as native integrations and may require additional setup, testing, and ongoing maintenance, but they can be an option depending on your scenario. You may find it helpful to review this community discussion for reference: Importing data from Microsoft Project into Microsoft Planner

Please note that whether this approach is suitable really depends on how complex your project plan is and how much automation you are comfortable managing.

I hope this helps clarify the current product behavior and available options. Please feel free to let me know if you would like to discuss alternative approaches or tools that might better fit your use case.

Kind regards,
