Product Description

"If you are a project manager looking for a technology-based, easily implemented, and usable solution for project communications, document management, and general project organization, this book is for you!" -Susan Weese, PgMP, President and Founder, Rhyming Planet

Most companies don't understand SharePoint's power, and use it simply to share documents or spreadsheets. This hands-on book demonstrates how SharePoint can also help you organize and manage complex projects. With SharePoint for Project Management, you'll not only understand how to apply common and practical project management concepts in SharePoint, you'll learn how to build a Project Management Information System (PMIS), customized to your project, that can efficiently coordinate communication and collaboration among team members. With this book, you will:

  • Learn to apply key project management techniques by leveraging SharePoint as a PMIS
  • Track a case study that illustrates the circumstances and processes of an effective SharePoint PMIS
  • Appropriately define access permissions for project stakeholders and team members
  • Centralize project documents and keep track of document history with version control
  • Automate project reporting mechanisms and generate on-demand status reports
  • Track project schedules, control changes, and manage project risks
  • Integrate project management tools such as Excel, Microsoft Project, PowerPoint, and Outlook

Each chapter includes activities that let you practice what you learn. Most SharePoint books are either too introductory (for end users), or too technical (for system administrators). SharePoint for Project Management is just what project managers like you need to learn how to harness the organizational abilities of this powerful software.

3.0 out of 5 stars A basic book, November 13, 2008
By Sean Earp (Auburn, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When I saw the title of the book, and the fact that it was from O'Reilly, I picked it up the day it came out. I had high hopes that I would learn some excellent tips on managing projects in SharePoint. To be fair to the author, the book does exactly what the title says... it shows you how to create a Project Management Information Systems site with SharePoint. Maybe my expectations were too high as to what I would learn.

Unfortunately, I don't think I learned anything new from the entire book. The book basically walks you through creating a project management site on sharepoint, tracking risks, assigning tasks, adding a calendar, etc. You could save the effort and just download the free Project Tracking Workspace template directly from Microsoft: [...]
If you are not experienced with SharePoint, then this is probably just fine for teaching you how to create a site, add web parts, and integrate with Office. If you already know what web parts are and how to synchronize with Outlook, then this is not the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical Uses for SharePoint - Finally, April 29, 2009
By Kevin Hughes "SharePoint Kevin" (Overland Park, KS United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've worked with the SharePoint product line for almost 10 years and I think it is growing into a fabulous platform for collaboration and communication. It is so full of features, options, and capabilities that many of the users I've worked with in the past have just given up for being completely and utterly overwhelmed. There are many books, training classes, blogs, web sites, etc. that will tell you "How to" do things in SharePoint. But, try to find resources on "What do I use it for" and you'll be amazed at just how few results you can find that actually tell you anything.

Dux has done a great job in giving a practical example of an "every day" use of this wonderful product. I thought the book was very easy to follow with a good mix of project management methodology and theory along with a healthy helping of how to apply it to SharePoint. The workshop exercises were easy to follow - even for my most techno-challenged PMs. And it reminded them a couple of times that they needed to actually follow good PM methods they had "forgotten".

In all, I recommend this book to anyone that uses, administers, designs, develops, or architects in the SharePoint world. Even if you don't learn anything about SharePoint or Project Management, it is a great resource to show to others.

I also hope this serves as an example of what is really needed in the SharePoint arena - a gap other authors will hopefully fill - Practical uses for SharePoint.

Thanks, Dux.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too elemental, good if you don't know share point, November 20, 2009
By Luis H. Mora Casillas "WisDvlop" (Guadalajara, Jalisco Mexico) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a "for dummies" book.
Contains some basic ideas.
If you are an new-to-sharepoint user, it's ok, otherwise it's not recomended.

The focus of the book isn't about PMI methodology, nor for Sharepoint functionality, but it's about using some PMI methodologies with a tool called sharepoint.
