Agile Custom Project Guide
In 2003, we released an Agile custom Project Guide, based on MSF for Agile Software Development methodology (which is scenarios driven , context based, Agile software development process). We have been able to get it working for Project 2007 as well. The Agile Project Guide allows the project manager to easily implement the Agile methodology for their projects, by outlining the Agile process and offering templates for process documentation.
The Agile Project Guide integrates with Microsoft Office Project 2007 in order to manipulate tasks within the project plan itself and provides context sensitive task/resource information in the project guide panel.
Here is what you need to do to get the Agile custom Project Guide working:
1. Download the attached zip file that contains the Agile Custom Project Guide files to your local machine
2. Launch Project 2007 client,
3. Enable the Project Guide from the View menu or just go to Tools | Options | Interface and select the “Display Project Guide” checkbox
From the Tools | Options menu | Interface tab
4. Select the “Use a custom page” radio button (from the “Project Guide Functionality and Layout Page:” section)
a. Click the Browse button and point to the mainpage.htm file, in the Agile Project Guide folder you’ve copied locally in step 1
5. Select the “Use custom content” radio button (from the “Project Guide Content:” section)
a. Click the Browse button and point to the AgileGuide.xml file, in the Agile Project Guide folder you’ve copied locally in step 1
6. Click Ok on the main dialog
7. You should now see the Agile Custom Project Guide

Note:
Due to the size of the Zip file, I need to split the file into two. This post has the first file. I will do a second post that will have the second file attached.
