Opening SharePoint to Project 2010 Eamonn McGuinness, Brightworks The Challenge … Many customers today still manage work and projects using whiteboards, email and Excel.

The Solution … This session will: (1) Present a reusable real world process model for managing work and projects of various types and sizes. (2) Demo how Project Desktop and SharePoint can sit well together. (3) Explain and demo a simple but pragmatic process to use Project, Office and SharePoint for the flexible management of work and projects.
