Find out more about Microsoft's Corporation project Management (EPM) offerings and their related authentications. In this post, writer Bud Ratliff, PMP, will provide you with an overview of Microsoft's Project offerings, and then familiarize you with the exams and authentications available for each.
If you are someone who uses Microsoft Project or Microsoft Project Server, you know that Project is among the more difficult Office products to learn on your own. Like a Swiss army knife, many components exist to help with a variety of conditions. Validation is the best way to better understand and use the all of the product's features, including handling schedules, resources, costs, and collaborating on projects from little to giant. Demonstrating that you have documented expertise in this product to your present or potential companies doesn't hurt either.
Below, we will take a look at Microsoft's Project offerings alongside the examinations and licenses available for each.
Enterprise Project Management Solution
Microsoft offers a total Enterprise Project Management (EPM) solution that consists of more than only your standard Microsoft Project desktop system. This solution is composed of these 3 components:
Microsoft Project is a desktop system that can enable scheduling, cost, and resource management for individual projects. There are two versions, Standard and Professional; there is some further functionality in the Professional version (particularly in 2010), the most important being that the Standard version will not work with Project Server.
Microsoft Project Server permits the assembly of different project plans, together with collusion, offered through Microsoft SharePoint technologies. Where 2003 and 2007 could use either Windows SharePoint Services or the more full-featured Microsoft SharePoint Server, 2010 requires the Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, Enterprise Edition platform, along with all of its rich reporting, collusion, and search functionality.
Project Portfolio Server provides the power to capture, outline, and select new projects by investigating them based mostly on the organization's strategic goals, resource capacity, and fiscal inhibitions. With 2010, Portfolio Server is no longer separate but rather is completely integrated into Microsoft Project Server as a single product.
Microsoft's EPM solution has matured phenomenally during the last three releases, from a loose confederation of products in 2003, thru a reconstruct of the products in 2007, into the tough and smooth 2010 solution that fully included the Project Server and Project Portfolio products into a single product that competes well against just about any other EPM solution.
