Inside you’ll find tools for Project Managers such as the Budget Add In and example PM Templates for help initiating, running and closing a project. In addition there are code examples and Add Ins since a lot of these tools rely on VBA.

Why? I’m a Project Manager with a background in development and systems administration and I find myself occasionally writing office code to make my life easier.

Hopefully what you will find here will make your life easier too.
