Even with all the great technologies available today, many organizations struggle with some of the most important aspects of project and work management. One challenge often faced by organizations large and small when trying to adopt these technologies is the proper mix of process, technology, and people skills.
Some enterprises have the resources (i.e. budget) to define their custom processes, configure the technology accordingly, and develop training plans for the people who will use these systems. However, many others may lack funding or a depth of expertise to build these custom project management systems and have dedicated resources (i.e. Project and Program Managers) to operate them. |

 Microsoft Project for the Masses is a whitepaper with associated artifacts (videos, templates and discussion forum) that clearly shows how Microsoft SharePoint, Project Professional, and Project Server can be utilized to solve a particular business problem scenario without the need for intensive efforts to custom configure a project management solution. The scenario is focused around mid-sized organizations (approximately 50-100 people) with complex resource and schedule management challenges but without formal project management processes, training, and tools.
The intent of this initiative is to show how an organization can get up and running to solve a particular set of problems in the quickest manner possible. This is not intended to be a Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) ‘best practices’ guide. Rather, it is a practical approach to get quick wins for both management and all stakeholders. In this interactive whitepaper, you will learn how to deliver:
- Highly transparent visibility into project schedules and resource loading
- Portfolio view of all projects
- Improved Resource/Staff Forecasting
