Gary L. Chefetz, a Project MVP, and president at MS Project Experts was so gracious to send us copies of their new Project book – “What’s New Microsoft Project 2013” written by him and his Project MVP colleague Dale A. Howard. If you did not have a chance to stop by and get your copy, this book along with other 2013 books can be ordered at www.msprojectexperts.com or Amazon.com (including electronic version).

 

Interactive session “Grow your business with Microsoft Project” (OFC10i) – was dedicated to all of you who would like to learn best practices from our Project and Portfolio Management Award winner – UMT and Finalists Nintex, Campana & Schott and Projility. Partners discussed their products and solutions and demonstrated best practices that help them make their partner practices first class. The session recording is available here https://connect.digitalwpc.com/. In the session we pointed out to important resources for partners at Partner Learning Center (especially Sales and Marketing Training and Training for IT Professionals and Developers) but also availability of Project Online demos and proof of concept tenants for partners.
