| Enterprise Reporting for Planner November 16 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm ET Many organizations use Microsoft Planner because it’s free if you have an Enterprise Plan! This is good news, but unfortunately it is difficult to report across multiple plans; the reporting options simply haven’t been built by Microsoft. To address this need I’ve created and published a solution that enables you to bring Planner tasks and assignments into Power BI which can be deployed by anyone who has access to the Power Platform. |
| Leading Through Change Without Burning Out November 30 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm ET Effective leadership has never been more important, and more challenging.

During this interactive talk, Executive Coach Ravi Raman will explore and guide you through a set of key principles behind effective leadership, and how to apply them to support your (and your teams) growth in these challenging times. It is possible to perform better as a leader, without burning out. |
