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?).

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way we work, communicate and collaborate. In this series of articles, we explore how AI can help project managers and their teams deliver better results, faster and more efficiently. We cover topics such as AI tools and techniques for project planning, execution, monitoring and control, as well as the ethical and social implications of AI for project management. Whether you are a seasoned project manager or a novice, you will find valuable insights and tips on how to leverage AI for your projects.
Is the Gen AI winter coming?
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.

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.

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).

As the bullet train called Generative AI moves along we can only stop and marvel at its progress for a short while. That is, until the next big announcement hits us in the face, right? I think it’s a good idea to “niche down” and not look at everything the GenAI ecosystem has to offer. It’s time to only look at the thing that interests you the most, and find the GPT / AI companions that can assist you with that.
For me, I want to help the PMO succeed with Microsoft Technology. This has led me to create a couple of ChatGPT models. Let me introduce them.
Note: I’ve been away for a bit because I was moving the family to our new house. Seems these GPT models are now available and free for everyone to use, and that you only need to log in. Please let me know if I misread that message.
Yes, Oh Yes! That is definitely me!

I recently recorded a video regarding Microsoft Loop. And I must say, apart from Generative AI this has me most hyped at the moment. There is so much potential in this application, it’s difficult to wrap my head around it. So let’s do some exploring together!
Don’t you just love it when GenAI goes off track and completely ignores the request to have the LOOP logo in the center of the image?

It’s 2024, we’ve passed the point of getting LinkedIn feed posts in the style of “120 productivity AIs that will help you gain a better life”. Or, at least I hope so. Just imagine you working with 120 different AIs during the day to become better. I just can’t see that happening.
So, what would be the short path to AI success for the Project Management Office (PMO)?
