Introduction
Microsoft� Project Server 2007 offers expanded communication and project
management capabilities to project-driven organizations. Microsoft Project is
no longer used exclusively by the project manager, but by various people in
different roles that relate to the project differently. A team member might want
to see the project SharePoint and use it as a communications tool, updating
tasks, reviewing control documents, identifying and resolving issues and risks.
Likewise, an executive might want to analyze a portfolio of projects that are
managed by several project managers in their department, and play what if games
with resources, or analyze their portfolio to determine which projects are
doing well and which are in trouble. A resource manager might want to take
responsibility for assigning their direct reports to projects based on skill
matching and availability, and provide an additional level of timecard
authorization. The project manager can leverage the power of the project server
to gain visibility into and manage all of their projects from the same Web
interface.
Configurable Product, Configurable Training
When you implement Microsoft Project Server 2007, you will configure it to
match the way your firm manages projects. Our training is designed around the
configurable functions in the product. That means your team will get trained on
your process using your data. For example, Microsoft Project offers several
methods of tracking progress including tracking actual hours vs. percent
complete.
