Category: Guest posts

Guest posts are a special kind of blog article. In these articles the main author (Erik van Hurck) is writing to you. But rather someone else from the field, such as teachers (such as Michael) and authors of books (such as Bonnie).

On this page you will find all the guest posts that were written for The Project Corner, to date. The content of these posts are ranging the whole spectrum of Project management and tooling. We cover (for instance) Project Workflows in depth with Hester and the Work Breakdown Structure with Michael.

Would you like to be on this page yourself? Or do you know someone that wants to be featured? Please let me know!

Launching the Voices of the Neighborhood podcast

I’m happy to share this new initiative I started!

Voices of the Neighborhood is a podcast where I talk with the Microsoft MVPs that work in The Digital Neighborhood.

Projectum, the company I work for, joined TDN a few years ago. And with that, we got access to so many great people.

And since I am not shy when it comes to sharing knowledge (blog, YouTube, newsletter 😉). I wanted to try my hand on a format I personally use on a daily basis: only audio format podcasting!

In this podcast, in each episode, I’m going to talk with one of our many (18 and counting) Microsoft MVPs. The podcast will probably be all over the place, spanning AI, Dynamics security, Intune, AR, and more. But, if you are a bit like me, you don’t mind getting interested in new topics.

So, for something completely different, take a look at the website for the podcast recordings to date:

Or, you can even listen to the first episode (and others) right here:

Future episodes and plans

My next guest is Magnus, from the sister company Delegate. I’ve always enjoyed my talks with him and look forward to the opportunity to dig into his work.

For some reason, I can’t get my profile picture in the right format to share it on the major podcasting platforms. So, the logo might change a couple of times in the near future while I figure out what to do.

But once I have that figured out, Voices of the Neighborhood will become available on the big streaming platforms as well!

Let me know if you listened in on the podcast and what you thought, I’m eager to learn.

What Business Owners Need to Know About Scaled Agile Frameworks

Hi Readers, Here’s another guest post for you to enjoy. It’s the third time for Ashley to join TPC. You might have seen her previous work on the top 5 trends of 2018 and 2019 for Project Management.

This time I’ve asked Ashley to look into Scaled Agile, as I believe it’s a great way to work with Agile and have a structure in place at the same time. So without taking to much time from you, here is Ashley again with

Top 5 Project Management Trends Reshaping 2019

Hi reader,

It’s a wonderful world where the TPC blog attracts enough attention that other people want to contribute to it’s content! I’ve had multiple guest bloggers on, some even multiple times such as former colleague Hester Blok (who did an excellent at making workflows in Project Server a lot more understandable).

Today there’s another return author, Ashley Lipman. She contributed previously about the Project Management trends shaping 2018. And is back here with the Top 5 Project Management Trends reshaping 2019.

As with the previous article, I’ll come back on at the end giving you my (Microsoft minded) take on what she wrote. With that, here’s Ashley:

The 5 Biggest Project Management Trends Shaping 2018 – Guest post

Hi reader!

And welcome to another Guest Post. It has been a while since I did one of these (or let someone do one of these). And Ashley from The Blog Frog came with an interesting offer that I just couldn’t refuse.

The Blog Frog is a website that gathers influential bloggers and puts them in categories for people to easily find the right Subject Mater Expert. Ashley found my blog and credited it as being a influencer, you see kids: flattery will get you noticed ;-). Continue reading The 5 Biggest Project Management Trends Shaping 2018 – Guest post

UserVoice #2: Open multiple instances of Project

Hi Reader,

Let’s make a change. Let’s improve on Microsoft Project. Let’s take another look at the Microsoft Project UserVoice and an interesting item to get on top of the product group in Redmond. This item was requested by Joe in a comment on the last UserVoice article I did, related to baseline labels.

This blog post is related to the ability to open MS Project in multiple instances:

In between creating my own YouTube channel, celebrating 4 years together with my lovely wife, the first birthday of Louise and a holiday to Tuscany. I’ve also started drafting a new TPC series of posts. These will be about the most requested/useful/interesting/frustrating UserVoice items that are in the Microsoft Project UserVoice page.
