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.
