In a previous post we detailed some of the improvements that we made to timesheets in Project Web App (PWA) 2013 targeted at end users. While end user improvements are great because they impact the largest audience for PWA we didn’t want you to think that we’d forgotten the administrators and developers either!

We love Project IT Pros. Always in the trenches and getting their hands dirty with the latest technologies and improvements, IT Pros are the engine that keeps many project management offices running.

A little while ago the Project development team had the honor of meeting our makers so to say - Brian MacDonald and Jeff Lill. They're the original creators of the first version of Project for Windows which was released in 1990. They started as two local kids who grew up just a few miles from the Microsoft campus.
