Connect with other Project users

Connect with other Project users

Professionals sharing ideas in a group

Why should I ask them?

You can tap the collective wisdom of other Microsoft Project users by posing questions in discussion groups, reading Project blogs, or using any of the other community resources mentioned in this article.

For example, you can use discussion groups to access an online group of experienced Project users, including Project Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs), who willingly share their time to answer questions and to provide solutions, tips, and expertise.

  • Project discussion groups help you dive right in and get answers to your questions from other users and experts who actively monitor these discussion groups.

  • The Project team blog offers opinions and insights written by program managers on what Project is and where it is going.

  • Technical chats at Microsoft are an opportunity to discuss technical issues with IT professionals and developers within the Office family of products.

  • Wikipedia's project management articleoffers comprehensive information that is frequently updated by leading experts to keep you informed of the latest trends and thinking about project management.

  • Codezone is your connection to individual contributors, user groups, community sites, experts, and speakers to help you develop custom solutions for your Microsoft Office needs.

  • If you can't find what you need from other users, you can contact a customer support representative by e-mail, chat, or phone.

"I turned to the Project newsgroups five years ago looking for specific information, and I was surprised by the efficiency of the replies I got. Then I found out I could learn even more from troubleshooting other users' issues and answering them, and I ended up being a specialist myself. The newsgroup community has proven to be an invaluable asset in putting me in touch with project managers and others."
