More and more successful project managers are utilizing SharePoint Server to drive their projects and operational initiatives.

Out of the box, SharePoint Server offers many features that enable effective project management. Lists and libraries allow you to consolidate and manage project information in a central place.

While business intelligence features allow you to report on that information in real-time. By utilizing SharePoint along with other business tools such as the Microsoft Office suite of applications, organizations can create a customized Project Management Information System (PMIS) to assist with the daily management of enterprise projects.

During this web seminar ASPE will discuss the many benefits of using SharePoint Server as a Project Management Information system.

Learning Objectives:

• Using SharePoint to manage project data
• Consolidating project data using SharePoint libraries
• Reporting on project data using SharePoint’s business intelligence
• Automating project tasks with SharePoint workflows

In order to effectively motivate a team to evolve into a High Performing Team, the Project Manager must first understand what the state of maturity the project team is currently in. The Project Manager needs to delegate levels of decision making authority to their team, but knowing how much authority to let go is often a challenge. Project Managers need to understand how to engage their teams in ways that produce effective meetings and also how to measure the teams’ progress as they transition from an initial team of good performers to a High Performing Team.

In the Transition From Team To High Performing Team webinar, the instructor will teach students techniques to assess the level of maturity their team is in and how to anticipate the challenges the team may have as they participate in project meetings.
