Hello reader! Welcome to The Project Corner, or how I have started calling it in more recent articles and video’s: TPC.
Continue reading New to TPC? Let’s recapMaximizing PMO Efficiency with Microsoft Loop
Let’s return to this great new tool: Microsoft Loop. It’s a really fun, easy and fast way to collaborate. But I think there’s even more potential to maximize the PMO’s efficiency. But first, is it a bird? Is it a plane? No… it’s Microsoft Lodds?! (Gen AI has a way with words, doesn’t it?).
Aim for the flagship, but implement the rubber boat
What’s this, Erik? Did you switch profession and go for the open seas? No, no, don’t worry, this is still very much a “help the PMO succeed” article. Let’s dig in, to a topic that comes up in a shape or form in every customer engagement.
About the Planner Baseline
Microsoft Planner has a new feature! It’s capable of capturing a baseline. I covered the feature in a recent video on YouTube. It’s a feature available only for premium plans. And there’s more to the feature than meets the eye. Let’s dig in!
Product feature marketing style.
The product is Microsoft Planner. And the new feature we are showcasing is the baseline.”

Artificial Intelligence isn’t new. The term was first used in 1956 at Dartmouth College. And it has gone through its phases ever since. These phases are termed either summer, where a lot of interest and funding happens. And winters, in which the interest wanes and funding is turned down. Winters tend to happen mostly (I believe) because of disillusion, the fact that the AI didn’t end up delivering that end game (not the Marvel movie) type of technology.
About Copilot (Preview) in Planner
I haven’t done a “about post” in ages! Here we go:
Recently Microsoft has provided us with a deluge of Copilots (company specific Generative AI models). And there is even one for our Planner tool as well. This Copilot is currently available from the Planner app in Microsoft Teams, and it’s in it’s first iteration. This means that the Copilot will likely increate capabilities in the future. For now, let’s take a close look at what the feature can do.
Book review: Who does what by how much?
I recently got my hands on this actionable OKR related practical guide. And if you’ve read “Measure what matters” and if you wish to implement OKRs in your organisation, this is the book for you!
Back behind a desk, what happened with AI & the PMO?
Just before Easter 2024 me and the family got the keys to our new house. And as mentioned back then in blogs and YouTube video’s, I’d be away for a while to settle in and do final adjustments to the house.
To be honnest, I’m still not behind a real desk but more at the kitchen table, and there are still things that need attention. But let’s dig in to some of the things I picked up at the European Power Platform Conference in Belgium and recent changes to Planner Premium (the “old” Project for the web).
