Don’t miss it!
In case you missed it, yesterday we publically disclosed our upcoming Enterprise Social strategy and roadmap at SharePoint Conference 2014 yesterday: http://aka.ms/esspc.
It’s great to have reached this milestone and be able to now publically discuss what has kept us busy for a while, a lot more to come, stay tune!
Work Like A Network!
With this week’s release of SharePoint 2013 Service Pack1 (SP1) we makes it easy to connect an on-prem SharePoint deployment with an in-the-cloud Yammer network, learn about it here: Add Yammer to the navigation bar for SharePoint 2013
Some recent articles in the press showcased the value of enterprise social and it’s impact across industries, my favorite below:
See you next month at SharePoint Conference 2014!
A reminder for all partners and customers that we have lots of great content including labs available to ready yourselves on the Office 365 Ignite site:
Get the updated version of the Yammer app for SharePoint Online and SharePoint 2013 on-premises.

[Update March 11, 2014 – recording is now live on Channel 9, enjoy! http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Project/2014/PC207 ]
I’m really looking forward to co-deliver the following session at Project Conference 2014 next February with Andrew Lavinsky: Enhance Value Through Socializing Your PMO: Yammer for Project Management
Focusing on project delivery is necessary, but not sufficient. The project manager must actively engage all stakeholders throughout the project to be agile and to innovate. To truly unleash the potential of your project team or organization, you need to develop a shared sense of values and purpose. You need to better enable communication. It's through communication that you demonstrate value and respond to risk. In this session you will learn how Microsoft’s Enterprise Social Networking solution (Office 365 & Yammer) improves project collaboration by capturing knowledge and building ambient awareness of project activities from inception through delivery.

There are many reasons why I’m passionate about this topic and looking forward to an awesome duet with Andrew, but in summary when I see the transformation and value Enterprise Social Networking can deliver to customers there are great opportunities to take your PMO to the next level!
In addition to tons of valuable content around Project Portfolio Management delivered by industry experts, I was want to call out this other Enterprise Social related session from Dux Raymond Sy Lead The Enterprise Social Revolution: How to Drive Sustainable Adoption.
For a list of sessions go here to the conference site, and in the meantime don’t wait any longer and REGISTER!
See you soon in Anaheim!
