For oversight of the projects in your portfolio, communication and collaboration with your project managers is crucial. If quick, transparent communication needs are vital, we encourage you to take a close look at Microsoft’s latest project management tool offering, Project for the Web (PfW).

With PfW handling your phase level scheduling needs, PfW’s seamless integration with Office 365 provides multiple options for quick, clear, and effective portfolio and project communications through enhanced collaboration tools.

During this seminar, we will define and demonstrate the essential project scheduling and collaboration needs of a Fortune 100 firm with project teams distributed around the world. PfW coupled with Office 365 has assisted this firm in breaking down portfolio communication barriers which once negatively impacted project performance.

To conclude, the process outlined above will be taken one step further by seamlessly integrating Project Professional (Microsoft’s desktop scheduling tool – standalone or connected to Project Server/Project Online) for projects that require detailed task management not yet provided by PfW. With this approach, you decide what level of detail to display in the Roadmap and PfW while maintaining and managing all task details in Project Professional.

Learning Objectives:

• How to collaborate on projects more efficiently using the Microsoft 365 platform
• How to preserve your firm’s investments in tools and training in Microsoft Project desktop
• How to facilitate communication between portfolio managers and project managers
