Some Random Comments.....

1. About ten years ago I went on a one day training course on MS Project (the Windows/Desktop incarnation). During the day, the trainer told us ten things NEVER TO DO using the software. That's right......it wasn't about "How to use the software", it was about "Features to avoid in the software".

2. About twenty years ago there was "Project Central".....which didn't work. Then there was "Project Server".....which sort of worked. Now the Cloud has come along. Each time the customer pays twice....once for the licences and the training, then for the conversion to "the next great thing". Rinse and repeat....and more $$$$ head to Micro$oft. (George Santayana: 'Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.')

3. But I thought that the Agile/Scrum/DevOps people have been telling us that projects and project management and project managers are "so twentieth century"! Obviously Redmond didn't get the memo. But then, we all know that the days of "cool kids" in Redmond, WA are also "so twentieth century"!
