Sometimes I will write about the status of the blog. This will mostly be content related to statistics such as the Post number 100 post, or when I did a post to celebrate the fact that I now own a personal domain Happy Easter and welcome to the new Project Corner Blog! But I will also cover things that I am particularly proud or happy about such as the time I got married and when Wendy and Louise were born.
Although not directly related to Microsoft Project and such, it gives you an insight on how the blog and the person behind it (me, Erik van Hurck) are doing. It gives a nice personal touch I believe, and I hope you like reading the articles in this category.
Here is a little off-topic rant that I wanted to publish for a while now. If you are a frequent visitor of the blog you know that I do book reviews on Project and portfolio management. But I used to read a lot of books in the self-help category as well. That stops right now, and let me tell you why.
Hello reader! Welcome to The Project Corner, or how I have started calling it in more recent articles and video’s: TPC.
What originally started out as a blog related to Microsoft Project and Project Server grew into a place for me to discuss anything related to Microsoft Project and Portfolio Management. This includes much more than just those two applications and even extends beyond this WordPress blog that you are now on.
One of my readers requested a place to find all the best content related to TPC. And this article is my attempt to provide such a place.
Continue reading New to TPC? Let’s recapKeeping up with TPC tradition, here’s a reflection on 2020 and future TPC perspectives.
A small service announcement. For a while now I have had a OneDrive file share location. This file share was used to share content I used in my articles. Since 2018 I also have a YouTube channel. Originally the blog and the YouTube channel had separate newsletters and separate membership file shares.
Change is coming!

Just a short post to celibrate that for the third time in a row I’ve been rewarded with the MVP status by Microsoft!
I’m very happy to be awarded the title Most Valuable Professional by Microsoft.
MVP’s get rewarded for their contributions in the technical communities worldwide. Just to give you a brief overview of my contributions last year:
Thanks Microsoft, and thank you everyone that supported my endevours to share knowledge. It’s a lot of fun, and there’s more to come!

Hi Reader,
Welcome to a massively overdue topic on The Project Corner! Here is another Product review. This time we are taking a look at the PMP Deep Dive online training course from the Versatile company. And stick around till the end, because I managed to get you a discount :-).
Hi reader,
You might be thinking “hold on Erik is a Project blogger, what’s going on here?!”. And yes you are right, normally I would write about Project and Portfolio management, Power BI or Microsoft’s host of other cool applications (such as Teams and the combo with Project Online).
But, you must also agree with me that these aren’t normal circumstances anymore right?
The Netherlands is currently hit with closed schools, musea and other measures. We aren’t on complete lockdown yet, but who knows this might happen in the coming days.
That’s why I wrote this article to help raise awareness on the Covid-19 pandamic and share some reports and articles created by (hopefully) way smarter people then me.
Continue reading Covid-19, raising awarenessNormally I would do an extensive blog update on how last year went. Sharing some numbers and talking about how my year was in general.
This year I wanted to share a short note with a little information on what has happened the last two months. Because updates have been scares during that time and I think it will take a little more time before I’m back in the game.

Change is in the air! That’s at least how I feel after reading up on all the things that were announced at the Microsoft Ignite 2018 event. I’m still wrapping my head around all that has been announced, but I also wanted to give you some insights on what will change for The Project Corner.
