Today I would like to take you on a tour around one of the most useful views in the Microsoft Project Client. The view is called the Tracking Gantt and it contains vital information on the health of your project and it’s progress. Continue reading About the Tracking Gantt view
Category: Brainstorm
Sometimes I have a brainstorm session with friends/coworkers and it sticks with me. When that is the case I will sometimes start writing a post that grows on me as it progresses. These Brainstorm sessions I have with myself mostly will gather information from other sources around the web, and might contain best practices. But I don’t want to categorize the posts as best practices because I’m not sure about what the actual best practice is. Good examples of a Brainstorm posts are called The deal with Project Failure and What are workdays in Microsoft Project.
There is also a special kind of brainstorming I do, these are the About posts. Big, content rich articles about specific items or subjects related to Microsoft Project or Project Management.
But there’s sure to come more brainstorms in the future. I hope you like the content that’s already here. And if you are interested in doing a brainstorming session with me please let me know in one of the comments.
The deal with Project Failure
Let’s take a moment to zoom in on a dark part of Project Management. A part where most PM’s will get nightmares or quickly look away. I’m talking about Project Failure.
To look closely at the subject I give my own opinion but I also gathered information from other great blogs, video’s and books to give you a nice overview on Project Failure. Continue reading The deal with Project Failure
What are workdays in Microsoft Project
What are Microsoft Project workdays? What can we change, what should we change and where do we change it? This blog post will talk about what you can expect with certain changes in the workdays settings, as well as some advice on what to do and what to leave alone. Granted that some advice might not apply to your specific situation. Continue reading What are workdays in Microsoft Project
About Cost resources
This has been a post that has been on my mind for far too long. About cost resources is a About post that focuses on a very specific resource type you can utilize in Microsoft Project. I’m using MS Project Pro for Office 365 and Project Online. But most of the things you see here will also be appropriate for Project (Server) 2010, 2013 and 2016.

About the Unassigned Resource
Hi readers,
This post is another very specific one, related to a strange phenomenon in Project Server reports that I wanted to dive into and solve. If you do not experience the Unassigned Resource mystery yourself, but found my blog because you are interested in Project Online (for instance) maybe these posts will be of interest to you: The book reviews, The Project Virtual Conference, The Project Corner OneDrive or the other “About posts”.
If you are experiencing the Unassigned Resource situation, you might want to stick around, it’s going to be a bumpy ride!

About, the about posts on TPC
Hi Readers,
Here is just a short post that explains a little about the content of this blog. I write about a large number of topics within MS Project, Project Server and Project Online. Every now and then I get a influx on writing inspiration and I write a big post. Most of the time these big posts are highly focused on a specific subject, therefore I call them the “About …” posts. So far there are 11, most recently: About the Microsoft Project UserVoice. Continue reading About, the about posts on TPC
About Earned Value Management
By popular demand I write this post about a very interesting and already well documented technique within Project Management; called Earned Value Management or EVM for short. In the post I will focus on EVM in combination of Microsoft Project, Project Server and Project Online, because that’s what this blog is all about. Continue reading About Earned Value Management
