Technical Resources on Workflow/Demand Management in Project Server 2010

Introduction

This blog entry is designed to try and capture all of the different pieces of information that exists right now regarding workflows in Project Server 2010.  Based on the feedback we are in process of creating a dedicated “Demand Management” resource center on Microsoft TechNet that will became the “one-stop” shop for all your technical and developer resources for Demand Management, including Workflows in Project 2010.

  Hi, Thanks for all the info, especially the webcasts. Unfortunately the Workflow Deep Dive Part 2 appears to have been poorly encoded and it is impossible to read the text of your walkthrough with Visual Studio. Would it be possible to get my hands on a higher quality video? We are really interested in starting developing with Project Server workflows and we would appreciate any help you would have to offer. In the current state the video is very difficult to follow as the text is illegible. Regards, Barry
