Instead of trying to decide whether you should be using Microsoft Project or SharePoint for Project Management…

Why Not Use Both!

By leveraging the Microsoft Project Sync in SharePoint, you can get the best of both worlds.

Microsoft Project can be overwhelming and difficult for inexperienced project managers to update their work. This can lead to problems in user adoption and wasted resources on expensive, unused licenses.

SharePoint seamlessly syncs with Microsoft Project, extending the project management capabilities of both applications.

In this webinar you will learn how to:

• Integrate Microsoft Project with SharePoint Templates.
• Manage projects with multiple team members through a single Microsoft Project license.
• Get summary reports of all projects with executive dashboards and individual reports.

Presenter: Alan Morgan (LinkedIn profile)  is a project management consultant with BrightWork. Alan is a senior IT professional and an accomplished business manager with an outstanding track record in project management, consultancy and IT software solutions.

If you’ve been testing for any length of time, you know that the number of possible test cases is enormous if you try to test all possible combinations of inputs, configuration values, types of data, and so forth.

It’s like the mythical monster, the many-headed Hydra, which would sprout two or more new heads for each head that was cut off. Two simple approaches to dealing with combinatorial explosions such as this are equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis, but those techniques don’t check for interactions between factors.

A reasonable, manageable way to test combinations is called pairwise testing, but to do it you’ll need a tool. In this inaugural

In this “One Key Idea” session, Rex will demonstrate the use of a free tool, ACTS, built by the US NIST and available for download worldwide.

Rex can’t promise to turn you into Hercules, but you will definitely walk away able to slay the combinatorial Hydra.
