This week's prodcast is about Project 2007 and the new Microsoft Project Portfolio Server 2007 offerings. Recently, I had the opportunity to get an update on our EPM solutions from William Lyon, who is a Senior Product Manager on the Project team. For those of you who have been following The IW Center for a while, you may remember I interviewed William last year about Project 2003. A lot has changed in the Microsoft EPM offering, so I thought it would make sense to revisit the topic, with a focus on what's coming later this year.
In this prodcast, William talks about the recent UMT acquisition and how Microsoft is moving much more into the enterprise project porfolio managemet space. He highlights intergration points with SharePoint Server and other Microsoft Office applications. For example, Project tasks and Outlook tasks can now be the same item, so if you change the status in one place, it will change in the other application automatically! He also outlines the improvements that are being made in the desktop Project applications based upon customer feedback.
