New Book - 2nd Almanack of a D365 ProjOps (Integrated with ERP) consultant



I am excited and very happy to share that my new book, called “2nd Almanack of a D365 ProjOps (Integrated with ERP) consultant”, is now released and is on sale on Amazon. This is my second book in the “Almanack” series. The first book, which was released in the earlier months of this year, was named “Almanack of a D365 ProjOps (non-stock) consultant.

While the previous book was divided into three parts, this time I’ve opted for a two-part structure. The reasoning is simple: foundational topics—such as the core project types, associated accounting treatments, and the related setups—were already covered in detail in the first book. Repeating those topics here would offer little new value to the reader. Instead, this new book builds on that base, allowing us to delve deeper into the areas that matter most for ongoing learning and practical application.

Part one focuses on the functional and technical aspects of the product. It highlights updates, subtle changes in behaviour, edge-case scenarios, usability issues, and some of the challenges that may arise during implementation. This section is intended to provide a well-rounded view of the product’s current state, helping consultants and teams make informed decisions.

Part two shifts focus to the human side of ERP consulting. It explores the soft skills that often determine the success of a project, including communication, expectation management, problem-solving under pressure, and the importance of adaptability and continuous learning. These topics are often overlooked but are essential for anyone striving to be an effective ERP professional.

I hope this second volume offers as much value to you as the first. Whether you're revisiting familiar concepts or exploring new perspectives, my goal remains the same: to provide you with useful, actionable knowledge that supports your growth as a Dynamics 365 ProjOps (Integrated with ERP) consultant.

This book will be especially helpful to those who come from a FinOps background and are now transitioning into or expanding their work within the ProjOps (Integrated with ERP) space. That said, even seasoned ProjOps (Integrated with ERP) consultants may find valuable takeaways here—be it through fresh insights, clarification of edge cases, or as a quick reference guide.

Readers are expected to have a fundamental understanding of accounting principles, as this knowledge is often essential when working with the intricacies of the ProjOps (Integrated with ERP) solution.

Finally, if you’ve already read the first volume in this series, Almanack of a Microsoft Dynamics 365 ProjOps (non-stock) Consultant, you’ll be well-prepared to get the most out of this book. It builds on many of the foundational topics discussed there and takes them further in both depth and practical relevance.

New Book - Almanack of a Microsoft Dynamics 365 ProjOps (non-stock) Consultant

 Hi All,

With God’s grace and the blessings of the elder ones, I am very happy to launch my new book called “Almanack of a Microsoft Dynamics 365 ProjOps (non-stock) Consultant”. Please refer to the previously published books at the end of this message.

This book is essentially a collection of my daily learning notes, taken while implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Project Operations (non-stock)—hence the title, Almanack of a Microsoft Dynamics 365 ProjOps (non-stock) Consultant. It covers a range of topics, from product features and implementation details to soft skills and key experiences I felt were worth documenting along the way. This book is basically structured into three sections. The first section explores the fundamental project types and their accounting treatment, which I believe every ProjOps (non-stock) functional consultant should have a basic understanding of. The second section highlights key topics, issues, and notable observations I encountered during my experience with ProjOps (non-stock) implementations, which I hope will be valuable to readers. Lastly, the third section delves into the essential soft skills required for ERP consulting. This book is my sincere effort to document the knowledge and experiences I have gained as a Microsoft Dynamics 365 ProjOps (non-stock) functional consultant. This book can be read either sequentially or in a non-linear manner. While all topics focus on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Project Operations (non-stock) and its consulting, readers are free to explore any topic independently.

This book is primarily aimed at Microsoft Dynamics 365 ProjOps (non-stock) functional and technical consultants, who have a fair bit of idea and experience in Microsoft Dynamics 365 ProjOps and FinOps space. In my experience, there is a significant difference between a Microsoft Dynamics 365 ProjOps consultant and a Microsoft Dynamics 365 ProjOps (non-stock) consultant. The “non-stock” distinction is crucial, as it requires a strong understanding of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations—something that cannot be overlooked. This book is particularly useful for those with experience in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations who are relatively new to Microsoft Dynamics 365 ProjOps (non-stock). However, even experienced consultants in this field may find value in it—whether as a resource for new insights or a refresher on key topics. Lastly, it is important to note that a fundamental understanding of accounting is assumed for readers of this book.
