Editor's Notes

  • #8 Announcements, Links, CalendarsPM-specific: Tasks, Issues, Risks, Calendar + any sort of custom. Create metadata/custom columns in your lists for easy viewing. Use alerts to be advised of changes/updates.E-mail enabled (can serve as repository for them, too)
  • #9 Versioning, check in/out, metadata
  • #10 Pro/con of this vs richer EPM solution
  • #11 Repositories of master documents, tools and templates help reinforce organizational standards and give team members easy access to most current master documents.
  • #13 Integration with structured data stores (ERP, CRM, PSA, other project tracking DB) to marry structured and unstructured data[MG transition: SP about doing *each* project better, PS about doing *all* projects better. For more, MH from WGA…]
  • #14 Mike described how SharePoint can help organizations who are just starting to use PM better practices. Now Project Server helps take clients to the next level.
  • #15 What are the drivers for using Project Server now versus staying with SharePoint as a PM platform? Maturing PM processes usually drives clients to ask forMore detailed project plans using MS Project 2007Resource Management capabilitiesAutomated Task updates from resourcesBetter Reporting
  • #25 BrightWork:PMPoint, first to market, most focused on PMBamboo Solutions: pm central, broad market acceptance of SP webparts, most focused on SPCorasWorks:
  • #27 Tags, ratings, activities (wall), micro-blogging/status
  • #28 Facets included by default, incl tags. More advanced enterprise search capabilities included in FAST search, now incorporated w/eCAL.
  • #29 All SP forms now use InfoPath as default forms editor, so that analyst-level resources can create and modify rich, adaptive forms in any SP screen.
  • #30 MM: Ability to centrally define tags in term store (along with synonyms, etc.). Ability to build relationships and hierarchies amongtags.BCS: easier integration, two-way.
  • #35 SP/Office drops 5/12Launch event 4/29. KMA Booth and speaker (CM = IT Pro)
