About start dates in Microsoft Project
Hi Readers,
It’s been a busy month but here I am again with a new post. This post will be all about the different start dates Microsoft Project has to offer and what you can expect from them. We all know “start date” and most of you will be familiar with “baseline start date”. However, there are more! Hope you enjoy the post, let me know if I missed anything. I will be using MS Project professional 2013 in examples.
Just a small update, I got connected with Webucator, they created a video based on this post. Have a look here.
The resource page and its first update
Hi readers,
I recently made changes to my blog. One mayor change was the creation of a resource page for Microsoft Project information. The resource page was created because I thought there could be only this much I could tell you myself, but I didn’t want to leave you hanging.
On this specially created page you will be able to find links and descriptions to some of the best content there is on the web; regarding Microsoft Project, Project Server and Project Online.
About Percent Complete in Microsoft Project
Hello readers,
In this post I will take an extensive look at a set of fields that report progress in the schedule. I will have a close look at the Percentage complete entities within Microsoft Project There are % complete, % work complete fields and then there is also something called Physical % complete. In the field I get asked about the differences between the 3 fields on a regular basis. This post will help clear up some of the confusion, I hope.

The Office templates within Microsoft Project
Hi there readers,
First of all, let me thank all of you. I just reached 11K views since I started this blog in Q3 2013. Amazing, thank you all for reading the blog.
This post has been on my mind for quite some time now, ever since I wrote the 80-20 blogpost. Microsoft offers a number of standard templates trough their service Office.com that can be reached via the application. There are templates for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and even Microsoft Project. Great! But, have you ever taken a look at what is there? Me neither, so let’s take a look together.
— Supplements —
Erik here, I took a close look at all the comments and decided to upload the 5 templates I discussed in this article to the Project Corner OneDrive. There seems to be an issue with the office.com templates where some people are unable to access them. I also found out that people were searching for MS Project Budget templates, so I created a post about this.
Please feel free to download any of the files that are on The Project Corner OneDrive. Hope you enjoy the rest of the post.
