Visio Connector for Project/EPM/SPS
You should check this out! Imtiyaz Mubarak (a developer, Microsoft Parter, and friend from India) along with Chris Castillo from the Visio team created and published a component that provides a Visio Add-In and a Project Add-In that integrates Visio 2003, Project Server and MS SharePoint Server. This component allows you to:
Generate Project Plans from the Visio Process Flow Diagrams.
Generate Project Plans from WBS.
Generate SharePoint Tasks from the Visio Process Flow Diagrams.
Report the Status of the tasks from Microsoft Project Plan stored locally or in a Project Server.
Report the Status of the tasks from Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server.
Generate a Portfolio View in Visio from Microsoft Project Server.
Generate Visio Process Flow Diagram from MS Project Plan through MS Project Add-Ins.
This component is published in GotDotNet and it’s really cool. This is the kind of stuff that solves business needs and I love that it integrates different Office technologies. I am sharing with you the link where you can download the solution along with source code and a document that explains the architecture and code.
This is good stuff!

I would be also interested if the source code or the original download is available somewhere, as we would like to connect Project 2007 with Visio 2003. The WBS Modeler cannot be used in this scenario.Anonymous
