PnP Weekly - Episode 75- 16th of March 2020

In this session of PnP Weekly, hosts - Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), and typically a special guest from the PnP Community, discuss the latest news and topics around Microsoft 365 development.  This week, Vesa and Waldek are joined by Tracy van der Schyff - Microsoft Office 365 Service and Services MVP, learner, keynote speaker, story teller and blogger focused on explaining technology in simple terms, change management and adoption, residing in South Africa.

Did we mention:  Tracy is a prolific blogger?  Tracy’s idea of March Madness is 31 days of blogging about Power Platform.  Then there is her Office 365 learning journey - 365 posts in 365 days.  A full index of Tracy’s posts can be found here - https://tracyvanderschyff.com/blog-index/   

Tracy’s Quotes:

• “If you have to wait until you are an expert to share your learning journey, you would never have anything to say."
• “People can learn from how you learn.”
• “Force yourself to learn everyday.”
• “Easier to teach a business person a tech skill than to teach a teckie a business process.”
• “Do things right even when doing small things. Because small projects can become large projects.”
• “Products don't fix problems, people fix problems with products.”
• “Many people need to learn what we have already forgotten.”
• “Try and document”

As always, if you need help on an issue, want to share a discovery, or just want to say: “Job well done”, please reach out to Vesa, to Waldek or to your PnP Community.
