Category: Microsoft Project
The core content of the TPC blog, Microsoft Project related articles. I started this blog way back in 2014 with a series of articles to spot incorrect use of Microsoft Project. It took storm and I continued to write about the tool that Microsoft created for Project tracking and scheduling. The posts that you will find in this category are all linked to usage of the desktop application. Examples are the Backwards scheduling vs deadlines post and Never delete a task.

Introducing the free TPC OneDrive
Exciting news! I have just created an outlook e-mail address. And (you may be aware of this) Microsoft provides every outlook.com user with a OneDrive file share with 5 GB of free storage. I call it the TPC OneDrive (TPC as in The Project Corner of course).
