PS: Ждем локализацию BI VPC 9.2. Первый раз ее увидите на локальном лонче.

Ее обязательно нужно скачивать, так как есть вставки с видео, которые SlideShare не показывает. Буду рад услышать ваши отзывы по всему мероприятию и по нашему выступлению.

PS: Сам тоже планирую быть (и даже выступить).

Подробности вот тут – Microsoft Project 2010 Beta Enterprise Project Management (EPM) Solution demo image now available for download. Я уже получил инструкции по скачиванию

PS: Если есть проблемы со скачиванием – пишите мне. Постараемся помочь с альтернативными способами получения.

Начать конечно же надо с соответствующих разделов на TechNet и MSDN:

TechNet Project 2010 TechCenter:

• Upgrade and migration
• Plan groups, categories, and RBS
• Technical diagrams
• Determine hardware and software requirements
• Overview of the deployment process
• Deploy Project Server to a server farm environment
• Upgrade and migration resource center
• Back up and restore databases
• Back up and restore the Project Server 2010 farm
• Manage security in Project Server 2010

MSDN Project 2010 Developer Center:

• Тут пока пусто. Ждем выхода публичной беты в этом месяце.

Project 2010 Forums

• Project Server 2010 General Questions and Answers
• Project Professional 2010 General Questions and Answers

И наконец отличная подборка постов по введению в Project 2010:

• Project 2010: Introducing Web Based Project Editing
• Project 2010: Introducing User-Controlled Scheduling
• Project 2010: Introducing Sync to SharePoint
• Project 2010: Introducing the Team Planner
• Project 2010: Introducing the Timeline View
• Project 2010: Introducing the Ribbon

Хотите почитать о новинках Project 2010 на русском? Посмотрите вот эти статьи / ресурсы:

• http://www.microsoftproject.su/
• http://microsoftproject.ru/
• http://www.pmprofy.ru/

• Microsoft EPMU – Admin Professional – Functional Implementation & Configuration of Project Server 2007 (On-Demand Recorded Training)
• Microsoft EPMU – IT Professional – Technical Implementation & Configuration of Project Server 2007 (On-Demand Recorded Training)
• Microsoft EPMU – Office Project Server 2007 Developer Training (On-Demand Recorded Training)
• Microsoft EPMU – Deploying Office Project Portfolio Server 2007 (On-Demand Recorded Training)

Всем кто начинает детально изучать Project Server 2007 смотреть обязательно!

Доступен вебкаст, где подробно все рассказано и показано.

Вот список доступных отчетов (40 штук):

Ну и конечно же не надо забывать и про 1-й Report Pack. В нем не так много отчетов, но это не делает их менее полезными Вот список:

• Cost Center Availability Report
• Project Deliverable Gives/Gets Report
• Project Portfolio Trend Report
• Project Proposals Listing Report
• Project Review Report
• Timesheet Audit Report
• Work Versus Effort Audit Report

И последнее – для Project доступно достаточно много различных бесплатных компонентов. Часть из них можно найти на MSDN Code Gallery, а часть на Codeplex. Хочу выделить только один -  Search Project Server data using SharePoint Server’s BDC and Enterprise Search:

This solution starter demonstrates how to leverage SharePoint Server’s Business Data Catalog (BDC) to index project server data and enable users to search the different objects (projects, tasks, resources, lookup tables…) using SharePoint Server’s Enterprise Search.
Out of the box the Project Server data is not indexed (only the SharePoint objects are indexed for instance Issues, Risks, Documents…) and thus users cannot search the content contained in the Reporting database. This solution starter will thus enable you to mine the PS 2007 gold mine and find the nuggets you were looking for very easily!

Такой функционал (поиск по данным Project Server) часто бывает востребованным в реальных проектах.

• Особенности внедрения сложных ИТ-проектов в электросбытовых компаниях
• Применение на практике теории ограничений. Как нам удалось добиться трехкратного ускорения
• Индивидуальная и командная мотивация участников сложных проектов как основной фактор успеха на примере ИТ-проектов. Подозреваете, что сотрудники работают не со 100% отдачей ? Самое время задуматься о мотивации вашей команды!
• Современные информационные технологии проектирования и управления в
  строительстве – их эффективное использование в период кризиса и выхода из него
• Представление Microsoft Office Project 2010 Professional
• Представление Microsoft Office Project 2010 Server
• Три принципа формирования проектной команды (на примере сложных проектов с высокой долей риска)
• Планирование управления проектами и оценка эффективности

Но интересного гораздо больше! Так что все кто интересуется управлением проектами – слушать обязательно!

Это последняя виртуалка с EPM 2007. Следующая что будет официально выпущена уже должна быть с 2010.

В четверг 16.07.2009 у нас в офисе в Крылатском состоится круглый стол “Снижение себестоимости и контроль издержек в ходе реализации строительных проектов с использованием технологий Microsoft. Российские и международные подходы”.

Проводит MS и ACCELERATION. Поговорим об опыте управления проектами в строительстве. На мой взгляд должно получиться интересно.

Так что приходите Подробности и регистрация по ссылке вверху.

Мне было интересно посмотреть на MS и Oracle (в связи с приобретением Primavera).

Microsoft

Strengths

• The portfolio management capability within Microsoft’s EPM system is a known strength, providing higher-level visibility into projects managed in a centralized project management system, as well as an optimization capability.
• Customers cite the workflow support of EPM as a differentiator, allowing them to build their EPM instances to support their project environment and processes. Subsequent releases of SharePoint technology will continue to enhance EPM’s collaboration, workflow and document management features.
• Continued and planned integrations with development tools such as Microsoft’s Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) and Team Foundation Server (TFS) provide Microsoft with an evolving integration story supporting ITPC and APM scenarios.

Cautions

• According to customers, EPM’s OOTB reporting capabilities are lacking. For reporting needs not satisfied by predefined reports, users must rely on SQL Reporting Services, requiring a skilled IT resource to create custom PPM reports for end-user consumption.
• Customers report that the current integration between Project Server 2007 and Portfolio Server 2007 within Microsoft EPM is not seamless and needs improvement. For example, online analytical processing (OLAP) cube reporting in Project Server is quite good, but cannot include data pulled from Portfolio Server.
• Another integration issue customers cite is in resource management and Project Server and Portfolio Server. Customers cannot perform named resource management at the portfolio level, nor can a role-based resource plan from a project created in Portfolio Server be passed on and into a project record in Project Server. Portfolio Server 2007, however, does provide the option to export resource estimates captured in the Portfolio Builder (via Project Server Gateway) to the corresponding project’s Resource Plan in Project Server 2007, if customers employ Project Portfolio Server 2007 SP1, released in February 2008.

Oracle

Strengths

• Oracle’s Primavera offerings include, among many other products, a very mature project planning and scheduling system in addition to a strong portfolio management product with an option to integrate these pieces.
• Customers recognize a steep learning curve that is effectively managed through sufficient training of qualified end users (and not novices of PM tools and processes). With this training, however, end users are able to manage large-scale, very complex IT projects that would be impossible to manage in desktop scheduling tools or with task lists built using spreadsheets.
• Customers cite Primavera’s robust security provisions as a strength enabling them to set different security rules and policies for different groups within a complex project environment.

Cautions

• Customers submit that the performance and usability of Primavera products need to improve. Oracle Primavera added Web 2.0 functionality in its latest release to address these issues.
• For the Primavera Portfolio Management product, Oracle Primavera does not provide administrative training, including production support. Customers that want to train their own administrators to support ProSight can do so through mini-consulting engagements to get this type of training.
• Although Oracle provides other products supporting ALM and ITSM (for example, Oracle Enterprise Manager), these products are not integrated with the Oracle Primavera products. Integrations do exist, however, between these ALM and ITSM products and other Oracle PPM systems.

Ключевые моменты:

1. SharePoint Server 2010 будет только 64 битным
2. SharePoint Server 2010 будет требовать 64 битную версию Windows 2008 или Windows 2008 R2
3. SharePoint Server 2010 будет требовать 64 битную версию SQL Server 2008 или SQL Server 2005
4. IE 6 больше не будет поддерживаться. Обещают улучшенную поддержку Firefox 3.x

По Project Server 2010 все тоже самое собственно говоря

PS: В июле будет выпущен Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview! Доступен он будет не всем. В числе первых – участники конференции TechEd 2009 и те, кто зарегистрируется для участия в программе на сайте office2010themovie.com.

Завтра будет проходить очень интересный вебкаст – “Как продавать Project 2007 и решение Enterprise Project Management, обзор рынка и некоторые особенности продукта”. Доступен к сожалению только золотым партнерам.

Читать будет Елена Осипова, один из лучших специалистов по управлению проектами. Так что всем у кого есть возможность посмотреть – рекомендую!

Ну да ладно По просьбам участников выкладываю свои презентации:

1. Обзор платформы Microsoft EPM
2. Эффективное внедрение систем управления проектами.

Буду рад услышать ваши замечания!

PS: Кстати, если кто даст ссылки на фотки с мероприятия – буду признателен!

На codeplex есть много различных проектов в том числе и на эту тему, но сегодня запоминаем вот этот – Custom Project Initiation Solution Starter on CodePlex. Коллеги кастомизировали фазу инициации проекта с помощью WWF и Forms Services. Может пригодится и в реальных проектах как пример для начинающего разработчика.

Project Server and Project Portfolio Server Advanced Customization

Attend this webcast to discover two of the latest solution starters produced for Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 and Office Project Portfolio Server 2007, the Solution Connector and the Project Server audit framework. The Solution Connector is a Microsoft ASP.NET Web service and Microsoft .NET class library, which provides a set of methods for programmatically creating, updating, or deleting projects and their attributes in Project Portfolio Server 2007. The Solution Connector was created to support both the Microsoft Enterprise Project Management (EPM) Capital Planning and Investment Control for Federal Government (CPIC) and Innovation Process Management (IPM) solutions. In these solutions, projects and ideas are captured in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server and at a specific point in the workflow the information is pushed to Project Portfolio Server 2007 (utilizing the new Solution Connector Web-service) for analysis. The Project Server audit framework solution gives you the ability to audit specific Project Server events within a framework. Join us to learn more.
