Project 2010 SP1 and more

  • Artigo

A lot of exciting things happening in the world of Microsoft Project! It’s been a year since we launched and we’re seeing great customer and partner momentum with Microsoft Project 2010! I thought I would share just a few of the recent exciting news for Project 2010:

SP1 for Project desktop and Project Server will release at the end of June 2011. You can find more detailed information on the team blog. Beyond fixes, we’re shipping enhancements that include:

  • Multi-Browser Support for time entry in Project Web App
  • Improved synchronization of Project tasks to a SharePoint task list on-premises or in Office 365
  • Time-phased support for manually scheduled tasks
  • Improvements to project scheduling in Project Web App

A must-read whitepaper written by Innovative-e that outlines how project management can be effectively implemented without the need for complex configuration and/or processes for specific scenarios. It includes a great whitepaper and other great artifacts like videos, templates, etc. You can download from https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=53cd717f-939d-4f41-921a-feb3aa9353aa&displaylang=en.

Microsoft Project Conference 2012 on March 19-22, 2012. If there’s one event you have to go to, it’s next year’s Project Conference 2012! The entire team is looking forward to this event where you’ll have an opportunity to meet the team in Redmond, the greater Project customer and partner community and share best practices. Phoenix in March is also a nice touch… nice, warm weather! While registration is not open just yet (it will be soon), you can get on the mailing list at https://www.msprojectconference.com.
