As organizations grow, managing hundreds of concurrent projects, allocating resources effectively, tracking financial performance, and aligning initiatives with business strategy become increasingly difficult. While Microsoft Planner has become a popular solution for everyday task management, many organizations wonder whether it can also support enterprise-scale Project and Portfolio Management (PPM). In this episode, Microsoft MVP Erik van Hurck shares his extensive experience helping medium and large enterprises transform Microsoft Planner into a powerful project management ecosystem using the Power Platform, Dataverse, and Microsoft 365. Together, we explore the future of project management, portfolio governance, AI-powered PMOs, and why successful project delivery requires much more than simply assigning tasks. THE EVOLUTION OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN MICROSOFT 365 Project management within the Microsoft ecosystem has changed dramatically over the past two decades. Organizations once relied almost exclusively on Microsoft Project and Excel before newer collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams, Planner, Power BI, Power Apps, and Azure DevOps introduced more flexible ways of managing work. Today, companies often operate with multiple project management solutions simultaneously. Marketing teams may prefer Planner, software developers work in Azure DevOps, business units adopt Jira or Trello, while executives require portfolio-level reporting across every initiative. This growing diversity creates significant visibility challenges that traditional project management tools alone cannot solve.
