Author: While attending the SharePoint conference in Las Vegas I sat in on Bamboo Software’s Project Management tools.
Below is a summary of the session:
-This was a partner-based presentation by Bamboo Solutions and Innovate-e
-Innovate-e showed off some of the new features of SharePoint and MS Project. Applause for creating charts and graphs without the need for using Excel for simple things. A bit more applause for MS Project being able to sync tasks bi-directionally in SharePoint.
-Bamboo’s PM Central fills gaps in SharePoint for Project Managers like data aggregation (think issues lists across multiple projects), improved notification capabilities (let me know when tasks assigned to me are coming due) and build dashboard reports.
- Similar to Project Server, Bamboo allows you to track a resource pool to assign them to tasks, track rates, etc. Note this is a SharePoint-only tool so it does not look like the detailed MS Project Server functionality.
- Ability to search for tasks (which is nice and not really available in Project Server)
- a dynamic report builder allows you to create reports and display them in SharePoint. It looks like there are pre-built report templates as well
- Tools are provided to easily update:
Columns, lists, libraries, notifications, themes, layouts, key performance indicators, etc.
Had to leave a little earlier to help out at the Ask the Experts booth but think most of the key elements are covered.

Throughout the great design regarding things you’ll get a B+ with regard to hard work. Exactly where you actually misplaced everybody was in your facts. You know, people say, details make or break the argument.. Together with it could not get much more true in this article. While acknowledging that, permit us say to most people what does work. Your writing can be pretty convincing which is probably the reason why My group is taking an effort and hard work to comment. I not ensure it is a regular habit of performing of which. 2nd, despite the fact that My partner and i can easily see the jumps around logic most people come up with, My group is not really sure regarding just how you seem so that you can connect your points that make your final result. Designed for now As i will, no doubt subscribe to the position but trust inside the near future you actually connect your facts better.
