(I am gonna park my ITSM credentials at the door for this somewhat tongue in cheek post.)
What’s good for the User often is not good for the Administrator. With Peter’s help, I have compiled a list of the top ten(nish) things which may drive up aspirin sales to the EPM implementing community:
The ability to turn off task scheduling on a task by task basis.

While Peter and I were busy working out our business plan for an Irish-Mexican fusion cantina (corned beef & cabbage tacos), real bloggers were apparently busy being productive.
I was recently introduced to Rolly Perreaux’s blog, and check this out, he’s already posted screenshots of 2010:

Yet more in-depth info on Project and Project Server 2010. The more we get into it, the more I like it.
Today's agenda includes a session on EVM and another on either IPM or Project 2010 Demand Management. Beyond that? We shall see...
Microsoft has, as usual, put on a great show. There's way more here to attend than one human ever could. Great stuff!...

It's still early in the conference with much more detail to come. But my preliminary picks for favorite new improvements to Project Server 2010 are (in no particular order):
Timeline view – Drag and drop milestones to build your project timeline….very cool!
Integrated Portfolio Management (probably my favorite)
Much cleaner, simpler UI (and love the ribbon in Project 2010)
Resource Pl...

Andrew decided to scoreboard me by mind-mapping Chris Capossella’s keynote this morning.
There are times when, working with this team, I feel like a third-grader. This is one of those times.

A bit of an update on our travels to Phoenix….
I arrived in Phoenix this past Friday evening. Saturday was a full day as I awoke at 4:45 AM…caught a taxi at 5:30 AM and met some 'new' friends at Arcadia Park for a 12-mile run at 6AM. Thanks Phoenix Fit for allowing me to join you for some hard miles in the dry, hot Phoenix weather. Cooling off with some 'refreshments' was also a welcome tr...

Yes, ladies and germs, today was actually my first rodeo. A major milestone perhaps.
Today was Day 1 of the actual conference formal, Day 3 of the overall festivities including the top secret Ignite presentations which will get unveiled tomorrow mid-morning or so, PST. On this day, we saw Tad Haas, Doug McCutcheon and EPM Joe take to Microsoft branded horses (!) and do their best Three Amigo...

I attended a breakout session this morning regarding MOPS 2007 Timesheets and My Tasks, and didn't learn much that I didn't already know.
Timesheets are intended to be the source of information for accounting (and things of that nature) purposes. The time records you find in Timesheets may or may not completely agree with those you find in Task Updates.
Task Updates are intended to be t...

In the opening keynote right now. Today’s agenda is entirely around MOPS 2007, so we’ll be able to blog pretty much whatever we hear.
One event of note so far – I had a lovely walk down to the keynote with Christophe Fiessinger, Doug McCutcheon, and Kevin Custer. I felt like a celebrity myself, walking into the auditorium with those three luminaries. I resisted the urge to ask for autographs, ...
