Creating Programs in Microsoft Project Server

If you watched my recent video blog showing how to create KPI's with SharePoint, you will have noticed I had one SharePoint site with multiple projects related to it. You really did not have a nice way of handling this in SharePoint 2.0 (2003). With SharePoint 3.0 (2007), it is quite easy to set up and Project Server supports this.

First, you create a brand new Project Schedule in Microsoft Project Professional. Publish this project and specify a name for the SharePoint site.
For any new projects that should be part of the same SharePoint site, create those schedules in Project Professional and specify the same location as the first one.

Microsoft Project Professional and Project Server 2007 fully support master projects, so you might create the first schedule as an empty one, then after all the others are creating, insert the links into the master.

(update) VIDEO: Governing Programs and Projects with SharePoint KPI's

UPDATE: I meant to select "Average" in the demonstration and chose "Sum". Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

Hello All,

It has been awhile since I posted a video and I hope you like this one. In looking at the new features of SharePoint Server 2007, I started looking into KPI's -- or Key Performance Indicators -- and how they can support programs and projects. This is a nice new feature and although maybe not as full-functioned as you might want it is still very powerful.

Please enjoy the video and let me know what you think. Since the video is hosted elsewhere, I am hoping you do not have problems. Please let me know if there are issues and I will address it right away.

Enjoy!
