SharePoint (and Project Server) Shenanigans

I am a Project Server and SharePoint consultant but my main focus currently is around Project Server. I have been working with Project Server for nearly five years since 2007 for a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner in the UK, I have also been awared with the Microsoft Community Contributor Award 2011. I am also a certified Prince2 Practitioner. This article has been cross posted from pwmather.wordpress.com (original article)

Just a quick post to highlight some of the new features and changes that are coming to Project – these were publicly announced today at the Ignite conference. Look out for full detailed posts later this week.

The improvements include:

• multiple time lines in Project Pro
• write back support for task pane apps in project desktop
• resource engagements – a great new feature that enables the project managers to make resource requests and send those to the resource manage to accept / reject
• resouce heat map chart – great visualisation for resource capacity
• investments in the Project Server 2016 architecture including all of the project sql objects moving into the  SharePoint content database – much easier the manage!

Great improvements from the Project Product team 🙂
