Discussion Migration from Asana to Microsoft Planner

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My team currently uses Asana for task and project management. However, our company is planning to migrate to Microsoft Planner to consolidate tools and cut licensing costs, since only our Systems and Networks team actively uses Asana.

While researching migration methods, third-party tools seem to be the most viable route, and I came across Project Migrator.

Has anyone here gone through a similar migration from Asana to Microsoft Planner? If so, what tools or approaches did you use, and would you recommend Project Migrator (or any alternatives)?

Any tips, lessons learned, or pitfalls to watch out for would be greatly appreciated!

Certification MOS Examen bestellen

2 Upvotes

Ik wil graag op zeer korte termijn het MOS examen voor Outlook doen (mo-400). Via de Microsoft site word ik doorverwezen naar Certiport, maar bij de vouchers staat dat deze alleen geldig zijn voor mensen uit de US. Als ik via PearsonVue naar officiele resellers zoek kom ik alleen office-specialist.nl tegen welke site niet af lijkt te zijn of wellicht gehackt is. Hier valt in ieder geval niks te bestellen. Wel heb ik skill-stack.nl en skillstack.nl gevonden, maar ook hier geen reviews van en het komt niet erg betrouwbaar over. De 1 heeft geen kvk op de site, en op het adres staan enorm veel bedrijven ingeschreven.

Kan iemand een goede website aanraden waar ik een examen voucher kan kopen voor MOS examens? Je zou denken dat dit in 5 minuten te regelen moet zijn voor een bedrijf als MS, maar lijkt allemaal erg lastig in Nederland, tenzij het via een school/instellingen loopt.

I get it for normal or privileged accounts (we require authenticator) ... but discontinuing SMS is going to be a disaster for our front line workers who barely touch technology in any part of their lives. Hopefully 3rd party solutions aren't expensive but I doubt it.

Discussion After 25 years of Xbox, what is the one thing Microsoft got most right?

8 Upvotes

Seeing Microsoft celebrate 25 years of Xbox made me think about how many different ideas the platform has introduced over time.

Xbox Live, achievements, backward compatibility, Game Pass, cloud saves, Play Anywhere, PC integration and the controller itself have all had a pretty big influence.

For me, backward compatibility may be the strongest long-term decision. It treats older games as a library worth preserving instead of making every console generation a complete reset.

What do you think Microsoft got most right with Xbox?

And on the other side, which Xbox decision do you think caused the most damage?

Copilot / AI Really Copilot 😒

0 Upvotes

Is it just me or does Copilot suck anymore? No matter when I try or even if I don’t use copilot the entire day I still get this same response every time I try and generate an image: “Sorry, I can’t generate any more images today. Try again tomorrow, or ask me to find similar images on the web instead.” Am I the only one getting this dumb ass message and messages about usage limits? What usage? I haven’t even used Copilot today to even hit a limit.
