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:
Product feature marketing style.
The product is Microsoft Planner. And the new feature we are showcasing is the baseline.”

Oh my, AI… Are you feeling alright? This image just looks horribly wrong. How is this a marketing style product feature image? And what is a Baselase🤷‍♂️?

The difference between Project Online and Excel

I recently received 3 questions on my “Ask Me Anything” form. In this article, I’ll address the questions and provide my answers. It would be good to state that these questions came from a Project Online administrator who works for a large organization.

First week of Microsoft 365 Copilot

In my mind, this year so far is in 6th gear! In March ChatGPT was the fastest growing “thing” ever, then just a few months later Microsoft acquired the company behind it (OpenAI) and at the beginning of this month (November 2023) Microsoft released its flagship AI solution Microsoft 365 Copilot. What do we know about this Copilot, and are people using it to their benefit?

It’s a total miss this week with the image. But I did want to share it, as I have experienced a couple of big hallucinations lately that didn’t fit at all, more on that later.

The Spooky ChatGPT article

In this article, I will focus on new features in ChatGPT, and how they might effect you as a Project Manager or part of a PMO. And it’s Halloween today, so here’s a spooky Project Manager:

Great sources of PMO-AI training material

Welcome back to another post on Generative AI, and how it can assist you as part of the Project and Portfolio management workforce. In this 22nd post on the topic, I’m taking a different approach. I’d like to share some great free sources that you can visit to learn more about (Generative) AI.

Harnessing the Power of Azure OpenAI for Advanced Project Management Solutions (Part 4)

In this fourth part of Generative AI, specifically aimed for organizational use, I’m focussing on Azure OpenAI. Microsofts solution to using Generative AI features, securely within your own tenant and company/privacy policies.

Generative AI and the PMO, prompt example and more (weekly updates)

Last week I read about Meta’s work on AI, and a couple of articles describing AI as a big bubble that’s about to pop. From my perspective, Generative AI is still a very valuable addition to the workforce. So this article covers Projectum’s progress in the field and another prompt you can use as part of the PMO.

Oh and remember that Jetpack has AI now as well? Let’s ask the AI to write a paragraph on Project Management as well.

Jikes, what’s happening with his feet?
