Visio Connector for Project/EPM/SPS

You should check this out! Imtiyaz Mubarak (a developer, Microsoft Parter, and friend from India) along with Chris Castillo from the Visio team created and published a component that provides a Visio Add-In and a Project Add-In that integrates Visio 2003, Project Server and MS SharePoint Server. This component allows you to:

  • Generate Project Plans from the Visio Process Flow Diagrams.

  • Generate Project Plans from WBS.

  • Generate SharePoint Tasks from the Visio Process Flow Diagrams.

  • Report the Status of the tasks from Microsoft Project Plan stored locally or in a Project Server.

  • Report the Status of the tasks from Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server.

  • Generate a Portfolio View in Visio from Microsoft Project Server.

  • Generate Visio Process Flow Diagram from MS Project Plan through MS Project Add-Ins.

This component is published in GotDotNet and it’s really cool. This is the kind of stuff that solves business needs and I love that it integrates different Office technologies. I am sharing with you the link where you can download the solution along with source code and a document that explains the architecture and code.
