Category: Other products

Every now and then I might write about other products, such as Microsoft Planner, Microsoft Excel or Metro studio 5.0. This isn’t the core or The Project Corner but it sure is useful information if you are a Project Manager / Scheduler or consultant / Administrator. And it’s my goal to help you out and find the right tools for your current project or agile needs.

Take your time and read about the different products I’ve covered. And if there’s something missing about a product or if you think another product would be a nice addition to TPC, reach out to me in one of the comment sections in the posts.

Microsoft Loop for the PMO

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!

Here’s the vibrant and artistic representation of a computer screen showcasing Microsoft Loop, with elements and colors leaping out of the screen. This image embodies the essence of creativity and collaboration, inviting you into an exciting world of digital collaboration. Source: Bing.com/create

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?

The PMO and Artificial Intelligence, AI, weekly post #02

Another week has passed, did you enjoy my last post? Let’s take a look at the Artificial Intelligence developments, specifically focussed on Project Management and the Project enthusiast.

Asking Bing for an image for “The Project Management Office and Artificial Intelligence”.

The New Feedback Portal

Microsoft used to work with Uservoice to capture the needs and wishes of the community. I covered several Uservoice items in the blog. But in 2021 Microsoft switched to an internal Feedback portal for Project for the web. With the announcement, we are treated to a new way of providing feedback to the Product group at Redmond.

Let’s find out if it is any good 😁

Teams 2 Project, App introduction

Hi again reader, I hope you are doing wonderful! I’m excited. And let me tell you why. Projectum, the company I work for, created a new PowerApp that lets you link specific parts of a Project Online Project to a Teams Channel.

Now why is this great? Well just ask the 121 voters on this UserVoice item I recently covered. In the last post I did I shared the 15 items Microsoft needs more information for to implement. Projectum took a shot at it, and let me say it is spot on! And even better yet! It’s free and available for you to download right now.

UserVoice #5: Tell us more articles

Hi all you lovely readers,

We are on the right track with the articles about the UserVoice website for Project Online, Microsoft Project and like minded software such as Planner.

And with the additional attention it’s getting, it would be great to get a number of items closed and implemented wouldn’t you say?

Microsoft Roadmap Flow Deep Dive Part 2

This is the second part where I take a deep dive into the Microsoft Flow that is created in association with Microsoft Roadmap.

The previous post describes the Flow that is created when we link a Project from Project Online to the Roadmap. This post will continue with a close look at the Roadmap Flow that is created when linking with an Azure Board.

Microsoft Roadmap Flow Deep Dive Part 1

Microsoft announced a couple of great new developments during last years Ignite (you can read more about it here). And for Microsoft Roadmap, time has come to start playing around! For a full video on the feature release you can find it on the TPC YouTube channel.

This two part blog post will take a close look at the Microsoft Flow content that comes with the new Roadmap feature. There are two versions of the Flow, one for a connection with Project Online and the second will connect Microsoft Roadmap to Azure Boards.
