There’s a lot of talk about using Microsoft Project with SharePoint – SharePoint Project and Portfolio Management systems, publishing projects to SharePoint, Project Server and SharePoint, third-party tools, add-ons, synchronization.

Well it’s true – SharePoint is the wave of the future! But how does Microsoft Project fit in?

Do I really need all these extra tools and add-ons? Can I just use Microsoft Project to connect with SharePoint? Do I have to have an EPM system to take advantage of the SharePoint revolution?

As usual, the Project Talk guys are going to break it down to the basics and give you the no-nonsense, no-hype answers to your questions and explain the real-dealeo on how you can take advantage of the awesome collaboration capabilities of Microsoft Project and SharePoint. Join us!

Project Talk is an interactive ‘radio show’ and web-session with real-time demonstrations of common project management and scheduling issues and how to address them using Microsoft Project and other tools.

If you’d like to participate in the show, ask a question or offer a comment, simply type it into the Q&A Tool, then raise your hand using the ‘raise your hand’ tool, and un-mute your microphone so you can join the conversation!

Anyone who participates live on the show will receive a stylish MPUG T-Shirt or other great prize!
