What You’ll learn from this Project Management Ultimate Guide:
Many businesses have adopted Microsoft Teams in recent years but may feel they aren't utilizing its full potential. Turning to expensive third-party tools can further complicate matters and waste time. This workshop will demonstrate that you rarely need extra tools to meet your project management needs! In this hands-on guide, you'll learn how SharePoint and Teams fit into Microsoft 365's ecosystem and how understanding their relationship facilitates efficient collaboration.
Step-by-step, we'll build a SharePoint-based project hub to centralize information. We'll add automations with Power Automate to reduce repetitive tasks. Exploring project management fundamentals, we'll leverage Kanban and Planner to simplify planning. With Power BI, we'll generate insightful reports to demonstrate progress. By workshop's end, you'll have the knowledge to maximize Teams and SharePoint for project management using only built-in Microsoft 365 capabilities

Thoughts from the Collab365 Team:
"You rarely need to pay for extra 3rd party tools to meet your general business and project management needs"
As a long time Project Manager who has generally worked in Microsoft technologies and has always been a user of Microsoft technologies, my experience has taught me two things:
- Firstly, 3rd party tools rarely fix your problems with process or project management. People, process and effective Project Management do that!
- Secondly, in the main, the things you like about the 3rd Party tools can be achieved using the Microsoft 365 tools you already have and with no extra cost. Sometimes all you need is creative thinking, guidance and a nudge in the right direction.
You may not realise it, but you don't have to be a Developer or technical person to create a great project management environment using Teams, SharePoint and Microsoft 365. These tools you already have can do so much more than just meetings, chat and file storage.

Lynzie Cotton, Fantastic Thinking Company
I am passionate about learning!
My first degree was in English Literature and History, which I followed up with further qualifications in Applied Women's Studies and then Health Studies. In my previous roles as a registered clinician prior to forming The Fantastic Thinking Company Limited, I was a team leader responsible for the ongoing training and development of healthcare professionals with a focus on human factors, communication, situational awareness, risk and emergency drills.
My background gives me a unique insight into the ongoing development and delivery of practical training courses and what is needed to support learners when they are back in their day-to-day working environment. I am constantly looking for ways to make what TFTC does more engaging and effective for our learners; from toolkit development to card decks to the use of light and sound in the learning environment… If it helps people learn and quickly embed new skills, I want to know about it.
In my spare time, you will often find me with my head inside several books, out on a run or in a yoga pose when I'm not exploring my new found passion for chess!
