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.
This is a DIY post about creating The Project Online administrator links, a Promoted links list with a couple of the most used administrator actions for Project Online. I’ve created the administrator links in Project Online, but it can also be created in much the same way in PPM 2013 and 2016.
Hi Readers,
A while back, I started a series of posts about the best tools for Project 
Management. Since then Microsoft created new applications and I would like to take a closer look at one of them: Microsoft Planner! Or how it’s also called: Planner or Planner for Office 365.
I’ll review Planner just like I did with Excel, Project and Project Server. Here goes: Continue reading Best tools for Project Management: Microsoft Planner

Hello readers,
I just got back from Germany and wanted to share a little bit of what I learned on a 3 day training with good friends and JSR partner TPG The Project Group.
Update: 23-10-2016. Although I no longer work at JSR, this is a nice reference case for the work I’ve done at the company. Please find more information about my new engagement here.
Hi there,

Hello readers,
Recently I got to be more active on the Linkedin forums, and I came across an interesting post that could use some elaboration. It concerns the Visual Reports within Microsoft Project 2010 and 2013. As a standard, these reports are created using old Excel templates. But what if you want to use some nice new features? You would need to save that sheet and move away from the compatibility mode. In this post I will share the things you can do to create stunning reports.
Update feb 2016 —————
Hi there, I uploaded my own versions of the Excel Reports to TechNet (they are also available from the TPC OneDrive). Here is the link to the gallery:

Hi readers,
I just have to blog about this! I got a Windows Phone, FINALLY. So straight on I start linking the contacts of my Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail and Outlook accounts. Getting a new phone is a great time to start cleaning up your contact list right? Now here’s the deal, there is a minor issue with synching your Google contacts to the windows phone. It has to do with the images on the contacts, and here in this post I will share the solution that I found. Continue reading Windows phone 8 and sync with Google contacts. Error 8007000E (completely unrelated to Project Server)
