We will also help you uncover timesheeting and reporting and describe richness of the Reporting and Data Analysis area in Project Server 2010.
Project 2010 Migration Deep Dive These labs give you hands-on experience on tools and best practices for migration from Project 2003 and Project 2007 to Project 2010. In case you are migrating from 2003 you need to migrate your data to 2007 first in order to continue to 2010. In the first part of the lab we show the "Virtual Migration Environment" (VME) along with comprehensive documentation that helps you to accomplish the first part of your migration easily without necessity to install or configure new 2007 farm. The second part uses the pre-configured 2010 image and shows steps how to attach set of 2007 databases and provision PWA instance. This part also talks about new 2010 feature Backwards Compatibility Mode.
Financial Project Server Add-On to Project 2010 Overview The Financial Project Server add-on to Project 2010 integrates seamlessly with Project Server 2010 and enables organizations to effectively manage project financials throughout the project lifecycle. It leverages exciting new Microsoft technology such as the JS Grid and fluent UI to provide a greatly enhanced user experience to managing project financials. It enables ‘top-down’ cost budgeting, forecasting, and tracking (actuals and variances), as well as benefits estimation and realization tracking. Built on the Project 2010 infrastructure, it leverages the platform capabilities to provide workflow driven financial management governance including approvals, transitions, validations, and support for user and role level security/permissions. The lab scenario takes you through creating a project’s cost budget and benefits estimates with the ability to refine and add increasing detail to estimates as the project proposal moves thorough a project governance lifecycle. You will create, update, and approve project cost and benefits data, submit project cost actuals, synchronize project plan detail cost estimates with top-down estimates and view Portfolio financials data using the cube.
