You can see Part 2 of the blog to know how to publish the APK on Google Play.
4 Step Guide to a Successful Project Online/Server Adoption Strategy
Achieving a successful Project Online/Server deployment would require focusing on driving adoption and making sure everyone understands the benefits of working with the new solution. Driving adoption is about understanding the business challenges that will be addressed with the new solution and ensuring the benefits are embraced by your organization. There are four key steps to a successful adoption strategy: • Establish a vision and create business scenarios • Prioritize features and create adoption plan • Assign resources and deploy the adoption plan • Measure success and share results Establish a vision and create business scenarios Setting the business vision for your adoption is critical for success. The vision should list the targeted business objectives and serve as the guild post for your team as you progress through planning and deployment. The vision will also help with securing buy-in throughout the organization. When setting the vision, be sure to include and involve your stakeholders. This means you must understand who your stakeholders are, what are their business scenarios and own challenges. You may have to choose several individuals from multiple departments depending on the size of your organization. Don’t be afraid to identify more stakeholders than you think you will need. All these stakeholders can be maintained in the Stakeholder Register with relevant details. Setting the vision statement requires asking several questions during a vision workshop and then deriving the idea from the answers to these issues. Here are a few: 1. What are our current portfolio management and collaboration challenges? 2. Why are we making this organizational change now? 3. How does a change support our overarching vision and strategy? 4. How does a change in how we work, change the organization? 5. What does success look like? 6. How will a more open way of working help the organization? 7. How will a more open way of working help the employees? Again, you will want to run several workshops, inviting those stakeholders who will be driving and supporting the change, and ask several questions Create your set of business scenarios including the current challenges that affected stakeholders and departments. Prioritize features and create adoption plan Once you set the vision and business situations, you will need to determine the solution for each of the business scenario challenge is your next step. This may require describing the solution before identifying the solution. To do this, put the solution regarding the user, or user story: As a , I want to , so I can . From the list of user stories, you can identify the features within your solution. Also, determine the features which are hurdles or resistance to the adoption plan. Create a solution to the high-friction functions that reduce resistance either through automation or overpowering value. Prioritize your features based on the features complexity, impact and value to the organization. You can do this using a scoring (1-5 or H/M/L) system or regarding the stakeholder’s requirements (Need, Want, OK). While establishing your solution and prioritization, it is an excellent time also to identify the success criteria to measure the impact of your deployment. Establish success criteria using the SMART mnemonic (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timely). Think about how you will collect both quantitative and qualitative data. To start and baseline your measure, find out what they are currently. Document your success criteria using OneNote with a section for your success criteria including the Description, Source, Metrics, and Goal. An essential ingredient for a successful adoption plan is to create a champion or Ninja program. The program will be filled with your peers who are passionate about Project Online and can evangelize to the organization to learn more about the solution. This will also take some of the stress off the core project team, discover new opportunities to innovate and provide feedback. Start with those who are enthusiastic who can commit a little time and effort and create an individual Yammer group. By providing them with a little extra training and support, they will be able to run their brown bag sessions. Establish a regular rhythm with your champions/ninjas to foster engagement to learn more about what is working and what is not. Don’t forget to provide them with recognition and praise. You can do this through badges they can use on their email signature line or special privileges. The adoption plan should also contain a mix of activities to maximize impact and approval. Activities include enterprise announcements or newsletters, engagement events, and training. Announcements and Newsletters are great for creating a buzz within the organization. Engagement events are a perfect place to create a party-like atmosphere where you can further motivate and encourage with contests, giveaways, and recognition. Training is essential to ensuring that employees know how to use Project Online/Server to get their work done. Assign resources and deploy the adoption plan It is time to put it all together and put your planning into action. Assign the key resources and begin to implement your adoption plan. Continue to bring awareness of roll out activities to the organization through posters, booklets, countdown/announcement emails, and tips and tricks email. Start these at least 4 to 8 weeks before launch and keep them short and sweet. Have a clear call to action links for more information. Don’t be afraid to address a commonly asked question or enable two-way communications using Yammer or Groups. Schedule the engagement events and community activities 4 weeks before launch. Invite champions/ninjas to small open sessions to show off their favorite feature and answer question. Conduct lunch and learn sessions on a regular rhythm and encourage attendance with incentives. Training and support will continue beyond launch. Help the users understand why the organization is using the new solution and show how they will benefit from Project Online/Server. Incorporate a learning center full of training guides, videos, tips, and tricks. Don’t forget the engage your champions/ninjas to help users learn the innovative benefits of Project Online/Server to getting work done. Measure success
What is the Critical Path?
Reposted from www.mpug.com If your goal is to make certain that projects are completed on time and within budget, then understanding the “critical path” is, well, critical. According to the Project Management Institute (PMI)®’s Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK) 5.0, critical path is defined as the “sequence of activities that represents the longest path through a project, which determines the shortest possible duration.” It plays an important role in project scheduling and must be constantly monitored to ensure that the project progresses as per the schedule. The tasks that lie on the critical path are called “critical path tasks.” If any of the critical path tasks are delayed, the whole project is delayed. Want to Learn More about Critical Path? Learn more about the use of critical path in Microsoft Project from MPUG’s on-demand webinar, where Darrin Lange, director of operations and project management at Advaiya, presented on “Using Microsoft Project to determine where projects lie in relation to the critical path.” Watch the session on-demand. To determine a critical path task, enter your tasks into Microsoft Project and establish the duration and predecessors. You can add buffers to account for limited resources or to cover project uncertainties. In return, Project will show you the Early Start, Early Finish, Late Start, Late Finish, Free Slack and Total Slack. Figure 1 shows the critical tasks highlighted in yellow. In the Gantt Chart you can see the critical path task bars in orange. In this Figure we can see that the tasks 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 are critical path tasks. If any of these tasks are delayed, the whole project will be delayed. Tasks 2, 5, 9 and 10 aren’t on the critical path; delays within the total slack won’t cause the whole project to be late. Early Start, Early Finish, Late Start and Late Finish are determined by conducting a forward pass and backward pass through the precedence diagram or workflow diagram. This shows a breakdown of the tasks you need to accomplish in order to deliver the entirety of the project. Project shows the network diagram via a task view (Figure 2) and you can add columns to show the Early Start, Early Finish, Late Start and Late Finish (Figure 3). Knowing how much a task can be delayed with the use of settings can save the project schedule and budget. With the determination of critical path, we can also determine “float” or “slack.” Slack is the amount of time a task can be delayed without any delay in the successor activity or the project finish date. Critical path tasks can have zero or negative values for slack. Critical path tasks that have a negative value for slack are behind schedule. We refer to slack in two ways: “Free Slack” and “Total Slack.” Free slack is the time a task can be delayed without delaying its successor task. Total Slack is the time a task can be delayed without delaying the project finish date. Figure 4 shows Free Slack and Total Slack in Project. The tasks on the critical path have zero Free Slack and zero Total Slack. Task 2 has a Free Slack of zero days and a Total Slack of seven days. Task 2 will cause task 5, its successor, to delay after zero days but won’t delay the project finish for 142 days. As project managers, we need to know which tasks are critical path tasks for several reasons: Resource managers are going to ask the PM if a resource is working on a critical path task to understand how personnel issues will affect the project. Executive sponsors will ask the PM if a task is on the critical path to understand tactical and strategic options. Team members will need to be instructed as to whether a task is on the critical path to ensure adherence to the deadlines. Project management office (PMO) directors will ask the PM whether a task is on the critical path during task escalation. This general overview shows how understanding the critical path, and its key components: slack, float, early and late Start, and early and late finish, allow the PM to predict accurately what effect changes to tasks will have on the project. Knowledge of the critical path will also enable the PM to handle complicated projects better, give informed decisions to stakeholders and department heads, and ensure the likelihood of the project being successful.

How to import and export project schedule from spreadsheet to Project
MS Excel is one of the most favorite tools for non-MS Project users for creating and managing project schedule. There are several scenarios where the project consists of many modules and each module is being managed by different people. In such cases, the module manager can update the schedule for their modules. For this, the project manager can export the project plan of a particular module and send it to the module manager. Module holder can update the plan in Excel and send it back to the project manager. The project manager can then import it back to the project plan. Export the project plan to Excel- Open the project plan in Project Professional. Go to File -> Export -> Save Project as File -> Other File Type -> Microsoft Excel Workbook -> Save As. Save As wizard will open. Choose a suitable location and click Save. The Export wizard will open. Click Next. Choose Selected data in Export Wizard – Data. Select ‘New Map’ in the Export Wizard – Map (This is a one-time process. Later you can use the same map for all the future exports and imports). Select ‘Tasks’ and ‘Export includes header’, Click Next. Select ‘Task range’ as Export filter. Add Microsoft Project field name in the mapping. You can add only 255 fields in the mapping. If more than 255 fields are added then it will show an error like below: Choose only those fields which you want to get updated by the module owner. Save the map in End of Map Definition. Give a suitable name for the mapping. Click Finish. It will ask for the task range to export in Excel. Enter the task IDs range. It will save tasks within the mentioned range in Excel and save it to the specified location. You may now give this Excel to the module holder for updates. Here I have changed the task tile of the eighth task to ‘Send the mail to GM, to Read’. Import Excel in project plan (Update the project plan from Excel) Open project plan in Project Professional. Open File -> Open -> Browse the excel which has the updated module plan. It will open the import wizard. Click Next. Select Existing Map in the Import Wizard – Map Select the previously created map in Import Wizard – Map Selection Click Next. Select ‘Merge the data into the active project’ option. Click Next. Select Task and Include headersin the Import Wizard – Map Options. Import Wizard – Task mapping will open where it will show the mapped fields which were mapped in the saved map. Select ID and click on Set as Merge Key. Click Next. Click Finish. Now the updates which are done in Excel will reflect in the project plan. Conclusion– Using this feature of Project Professional, the module manager can update the project plan without having any Project Professional license and the project manager can also review the changes in Excel and update the actual plan accordingly.
Get the most out of MS Project Online with rich Power BI
“Our biggest issue is extracting value from our data to make informed decisions.” This is what we have heard from many project managers, and a similar issue you might have come across at some point of your project management lifecycle. Project managers, today, need better insights into their resources to make the best decision and to keep projects on track. However, it has been found that typically a program manager spends over 25% of their time on administrative tasks in Project Management, as stated by Forrester. This is because, with the growing data size, the complexity of managing data is also increasing at a fast rate. Data expansion from various sources – Big Data, Social Media or Enterprise data such as CRM, ERP, and Project data – further adds to data complexity. This data expansion coupled with data complexity challenges project managers and PMOs to create an up-to-date project report or portfolio report. To list a few, project managers are facing the following challenges with PPM (Project Portfolio Management) reporting: Project portfolio reports lack a holistic view. Project reports are static. Interactive visualization takes longer development time and needs specialized data query skills. Deploying and maintaining project reports cause administrative overhead. It’s time to take control of your data at every level! With interactive reports and dashboards, Power BI can be a boon to your project reporting, enabling operational value. With enhanced visibility and insight, Power BI allows making informed decisions at all management levels right from the executives, project managers, PMOs, to resource allocation managers. Let’s have a look at how you can achieve the most out of your Project Online with rich Power BI. See live project data with interactive dashboards – Want to see the important aspects of your project at a glance? You can create personalized dashboards to view and monitor each of your project metric such as project by department, cost and work burn down, project health KPIs and many more in the form of tiles. It gives you a consolidated view of both on-premises and cloud data in a single pane of glass. To get a more personalized experience, you can even move, delete, resize, link or rename the tiles on your dashboard.

Interacting with Power BI dashboards and reports in PowerPoint
Power BI team recently added the functionality to export Power BI reports to PowerPoint (in Preview). The feature does not go very far though, in that, you cannot interact with the reports or dashboards in the ppt. However, there has been a way to bring in your dashboards and reports into PowerPoint and Excel while maintaining their interactivity using a lesser known app. In this blog, I will share the steps to use that add-in and some of its advantages and limitations. The biggest advantage is, of course, the interactivity, while maintaining the flow of the presentation and not switching out of the presentation to go to the dashboard and back. You can set a specific tile as the default tile on a slide when you are connected to a dashboard. All you need to do is save and exit with a tile showing on a slide, then you will see the same tile on that slide when you open the presentation again. If you wanted to, you could embed the dashboard multiple times on multiple slides showing different tiles, then annotate each one separately to talk about the key points on each. The add-in can connect to both reports and dashboards, so you can navigate through the tiles of the dashboard as well as the pages of the report. Only the tiles on the dashboards are visible. When you are trying to view a dashboard that has a live page pinned to it, the live pages do not show up on PowerPoint. When you are connected to the report, the report page and filter settings in the PowerPoint will always be the default report page and settings you would have seen when you logged in to Power BI. I tried saving the .ppt with two different report pages on two different slides, but it defaulted to the same page when I opened the PowerPoint file again. There is an option to show a visual (a tile or a report page) as a saved image, which is great if you want to prepare your presentation around specific data or images that you do not want to change or refresh before your talk, but then you lose the ability to refresh the visual. And finally, here’s how you make your presentations more attractive! 1. Open your PowerPoint presentation. Click on “Insert” in the top bar. 2. Click on “Store”. 3. Under Office Add-ins, click on “STORE”. Once you get this add-in, you will find it under ‘MY ADD-INS’. 4. Type “Power BI” in the search box and search. 5. Add the “Power BI Tiles” add-in. 6. Click on the “From Power BI” button. 7. Enter your credentials to access your Power BI site. 8. Navigate to the workspace – personal or group, where the desired dashboards and reports are present. 9. If you want to connect to a dashboard, click on the dashboard name. If you want to connect to a report, click on “Reports” next to “Dashboards”. 10. Your dashboard tile appears on the slide!, as you see! 11. You can resize it and/or click on the arrows in the middle to navigate through the tiles. 12. You can also bring in a report and scroll through the pages while interacting with the slicers and filters. 13. To show a visual as a static image, click on the tile or report, then expand the arrow near the top on the right side of the visual. 14. Select “Show as Saved Image” in the list of options. The visual will be converted to an image. Author Recommended 10 Keys to a Successful Business Intelligence Strategy Why Microsoft Power BI is the leader in Business Analytics?

Get insights faster with Power BI
My Masters’ of Science thesis in Transportation Engineering was on a dynamic traffic assignment problem – figuring out the best routes for drivers with given origins, destinations, start time at origins, while optimizing their time during interactions with other travelers on the road throughout their trip. It was a far-fetched goal that did not seem very practical at that time and I am amazed we have achieved that goal since my graduation – rerouting ourselves as we follow along the directions on our phones. My latest obsession is with Power BI. Using a Power BI dashboard is like a traffic assignment problem. You have an overview of the situation to begin with, and many paths you can follow and explore to get to where you need. You can travel down onto a new road you have never been on and discover a new way to get around. You can even ask questions from a friendly dashboard if you are not clear. Begin a new journey and learn to get the most out of your time by knowing your way around the dashboard and reports, slicing and filtering the data using a variety of techniques and asking the right questions, both of your dashboard and of your report creators to make it work for what you need.

There’s additionally Power BI Report Server for businesses that have to keep their reports and data on assumptions. That edition of Power BI calls for a unique variant of the desktop app known as Power BI Desktop for Power BI Report Server. How to use columns from two different tables in Power BI Ever came across a scenario where you need to perform some action or calculation on columns from two different tables? Were you able to do it without using join (merge or append) queries? Suppose you have two tables Resources and Assignments, and you need one calculated field wherein you can find Resource Burn – that is – ([Resource Standard Rate] * [Assignment Work]). Let’s see how it can be done by creating a new calculated column in Power BI. One important thing to be taken care of while using column from multiple tables is to make sure that there is a relationship between two tables, also that the type of relationship is not many to many. To achieve this functionality, a new column is to be created in the table where values are not unique. Here are the steps to use columns from different tables: Create a column and make sure you are adding the column in the relevant table. Or alternatively, you can right click Table and select New column. 2.After creating a new column, you will see the formula bar; rename Resource Burn with default name that is Column. 3.Give a suitable name to the column and write down the formula. After the equal to sign, start typing Related, and select it. 4.From the above table, you have taken one column from the Resource table and now you can multiply it with the column from the Assignments table. 5.From the above table, you have taken one column from the Resource table and now you can multiply it with the column from Assignments table. So this is it! This column is now ready to use. Important Features of Power BI Microsoft has added a number of data analytics features to Power BI Since its beginning, and continues to do so.

How to migrate SharePoint server 2013 to SharePoint server 2016
SharePoint 2016 has come with many enhancements, encouraging organizations to migrate to this latest version. This post will take you through a step by step process on how you can upgrade your SharePoint 2013 to SharePoint 2016. Note that you can upgrade your SharePoint instance from one server to another without any downtime. As this is a live migration, I would suggest you to take complete backup of the server and the database before continuing. [ Empower executives and employees across your organization to connect, converse, discover and work together at one central location to save time, increase productivity and boost engagement Know more at: Employee Intranet ] If you are running SharePoint 2010 and want to migrate, there is no method to migrate it directly to SharePoint 2016. Here are the steps that you need to follow: Create SharePoint 2013 farm Attach SharePoint 2010 database to SharePoint 2013 farm Upgrade site collections to full SharePoint 2013 mode Create a new SharePoint 2016 farm Attach SharePoint 2013 database to SharePoint 2016 database server Here I am assuming that you have done all the prerequisites before starting this migration process. That means you’ve already installed SharePoint 2016 server, but if you are finding difficulty to do so, you can follow my previous post here. Also, before starting the process go to your old SharePoint 2013 database Server, copy the WSS_Content content database of your site collection (which you want to migrate to SharePoint 2016) to the new SharePoint 2016 database server. Login to your old SQL Server Management Studio, select WSS_content ,go to task, and select copy database. 2. You will get a database copy wizard. Click on Next. 3. Verify source server properties. 4. Select the destination Server where you want to copy this WSS_contect DB. 5. In select the transfer method wizard, use SQL Management Object method if you want to do the migration without down time. 6. Select a database to copy. Select WSS_Content. Click on Next. 7. Configure the properties of a destination database. 8. Select Logins here. 9. Configure the package created. 10. Select Run immediately option. If you need to schedule them, select Schedule option. 11. Review the summary and click on Finish. 12. It will take a while to perform the operation. 13. Once the database is restored, go back to your SharePoint 2016 Central Administration and setup your SharePoint Web Application to use the copied WSS_Content database. Go to Application Management -> Manage Web Applications. 14. Create a new web application. 15.Set new web application properties. 16. Once the new application is created, open the SharePoint powershell as the administrator and run below commmands: Test your content database using command Test-SPContentDatabase -Name -Web Application 2. Dismount the new database which is created by detault when the site collection is created. Dismount-SPContentDatabase “” 3. Run the cmdlet to attach SharePoint 2013 content database to new SharePoint 2016 site collection. Mount-SPContentDatabase “WSS_Content_Home” -DatabaseServer “IN-SRV05” – WebApplication http://aspl-collab04/ 4. The upgrade will take 10 to 15 minutes to complete, and sometimes even an hour. Once it is completed, you will get a message like below: 5. If your SharePoint site has a customized web solution, then run cmdlet to add SP solution Add–SPSolution C:Service.wsp ( Path of wsp solution) 6. After adding SP solution, we need to install this solution to our newly created web application use cmdlet: Install-SPSolution –Identity Service.wsp –WebApplication http://aspl-collab04/ –GACDeployment And there you are! Now open your updated SharePoint site. Like you can see Advaiya’s updated SharePoint site as below:
