Many organisations often require dedicated Project Portfolio Management (PPM) tools to run their business. From a Microsoft standpoint, we have several SaaS tools available, such as Microsoft Planner, Project for the Web (P4W) and Dynamics 365 Project Operations, each with their own distinct set of capabilities and features. With such a wide array of tools available, it's no wonder that many IT and business users end up saying, "what the flip" when trying to make a good choice. 

Never fear, though, as our Microsoft PPM experts will be on-hand in this informative and light session, showcasing the possibilities of each tool and seeing how to use them to address different business scenarios. This session is ideal for those who are currently evaluating PPM solutions, and attendees will walk away with an excellent foundational grasp of Microsoft's offerings in this area, the best tool to use based on your requirements and an appreciation of how vital the Power Platform is, regardless of which solution you opt for.
