Accumulating statistics for open tasks in a Planner plan is helpful to understand how active team members are in clearing assigned tasks. Creating a report showing how the number of open tasks vary by team member over a six-week period delivers another type of insight. It’s the kind of thing that PowerShell is very good at. If data is available, we can report it in different ways!

A PowerShell script that sends details of open tasks to users for follow up is a good thing. Storing open task statistics in a list for analysis of open task burndown over time is even better. This article describes how to update the script that sends email about open tasks to add the code necessary to use a list in a SharePoint Online site to store details about open tasks.
