SharePoint and Project Server Both
Great Products

even Better Together
Project Management with Project
and SharePoint
• Managing projects as SharePoint task lists
• Managing projects with full control
Project Management with Project
and SharePoint
• The Project Application Service in Project
Server 2013 can be associated with a
SharePoint site collection for use with
SharePoint tasks lists, The Project
Application Service can also import a
SharePoint task list as an enterprise
project for full Project Server control.
Project Management with Project
and SharePoint
• With a SharePoint task list, SharePoint
maintains the project site in a site
collection; Project Professional can
synchronize with and update the tasks list.
A project site can be an independent
SharePoint tasks list or a tasks list that is
synchronized with an .mpp file; the .mpp
file can be stored locally or in a SharePoint
library.
SharePoint Task List Approach
Project Server Approach
SharePoint and Project Server
Collaboration
• Connect teams
SharePoint - Project Management
When implementing project management is that
if you try for too much too soon, you will fail…
SharePoint – Project Site
Ability to create a SharePoint Site Dedicated to a
single project to act as a central repository of
project content.
