SharePoint is a fantastic tool for collaboration and information sharing, but it can also be enhanced and extended for work and project management using templates.

Projects can vary in size and complexity, meaning there is no “one size fits all” approach to project management, even within the same organization.

Different projects require different amounts of management and structure, making SharePoint templates the perfect solution for collaborative project management.

SharePoint templates are a fast yet practical starting point and can be customized to meet your needs. The templates can be used to manage work, single projects, or across many projects.

Éamonn McGuinness (LinkedIn profile) of BrightWork will walk through our template driven approach to project management on SharePoint. We will fully explain this model and demonstrate the approach.

Many organizations experience delays at various points throughout the project lifecycle.

Microsoft SharePoint is a collaborative solution that can be used to eliminate these delays at any stage in that lifecycle, from project initiation to closure.

In reality, different projects and different stages of the project require differing amounts of process and collaboration, making SharePoint the perfect solution.

SharePoint can be customized and extended with templates and reporting to become a powerful project management tool, providing the necessary structure to successfully manage a project throughout its entire lifecycle.

Microsoft SharePoint 2010 has a template for managing a project and also has a list that synchronizes with Microsoft Project, so it is clear the SharePoint team is encouraging us to use SharePoint to manage work and projects. The question is how?
