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:

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.
