About the Planner Baseline

Microsoft Planner has a new feature! It’s capable of capturing a baseline. I covered the feature in a recent video on YouTube. It’s a feature available only for premium plans. And there’s more to the feature than meets the eye. Let’s dig in!

Prompting Copilot (with Dall-E3) “Create an image:

Project for the web Feedback portal update April 2022

New features come in monthly. And for Project for the web there’s a Feedback portal that we can use to let Microsoft know what to build next. This is the fourth post in the series regarding the Feedback portal. And if you have been following along you might already know what’s coming. Previous posts can be found here, here and here.

For all the rest of you, I’ll look at previously discussed feature requests. And I’ll pick a new one and discuss the feature. If it’s a cool feature you might want to vote for it, it helps Microsoft focus on creating the features we want in the tool.

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.

So far there are 11, most recently: About the Microsoft Project UserVoice. Continue reading About, the about posts on TPC
