Enterprise Project Management Using Microsoft(r) Office Project Server 2007: Best Practices for Implementing an Epm Solution

By Hagit Landman

Enterprise Project Management (EPM) is a methodology that combines standardized project management processes and supporting tools to better meet an organization's project or program management goals. Microsoft Office Project Server 2007, together with its SharePoint technology, are some of the best EPM supporting tools available. Enterprise Project Management Using Microsoft® Office Project Server 2007 presents an effective EPM methodology that uniquely combines the use of these processes and supporting tools. It takes users step-by-step through each stage of an EPM solution implementation. Based on the author's extensive experience, it provides the principles, processes, best practices, and detailed instruction needed to define, implement, and deploy an EPM solution in your organization using Office Project Server 2007 and other EPM supporting tools.Greater visibility, insight, and control across all projects and programs, enhanced decision-making, improved alignment with business strategies, better communication, optimal resource utilization and increased opertional efficiency are among the many benefits of implementing an EPM solution. However, implementing an EPM solution that combines project management methodology and supporting tools to enable all project stakeholders in your organization to perform the defined processes effectively is not a simple task unless there is detailed instruction and guidance based on practical experience. This is the first book to provide instruction on how to implement an EPM solution in an organization based on the Project Management Institute's standardized processes and how to configure the supporting tools from Microsoft products and solutions. PMO professionals, business analysts, program and project managers, project teams and stakeholders will find this unique manual invaluable.
