    Deployment Planning

    Administrative Training

    End-User Training

    Bamboo has partnered with Innovative-e, a leading consulting firm in Project Management and SharePoint, to guide you through the steps your organization needs to effectively utilize PM Central and mature your company's project management system. Using an organizational PM maturity self-assessment, we will evaluate your current system against the knowledge areas of the PMBOK Guide and deliver a deployment plan that outlines how to improve the SharePoint project management efforts in your company.

    Targeted at administrators who are responsible for PM Central's deployment, the training gives you a deep dive into the capabilities of PMC, the configuration best practices and how to maintain the application. In this 3-hour session your PMC administrators will learn how to:

    • How to enforce project site standardization across the portfolio
    • How to navigate PM Central and create new tabs
    • How to configure KPI indicators to visualize project status

    Get your Project Managers and Team Members started off on the right foot with End-User Training to help them learn the basics and avoid rookie mistakes. In this 3-hour session your end users will learn how to:

    • Navigate the PM Central project site
    • Enhance and extend team collaboration by taking full advantage of PM Central's features
    • Monitor project health and status using dashboards, charts and data-views

    Installation Support

    Design and Configuration

    Services

    Work with one of Bamboo's experienced technical consultants to install PM Central and set up basic configuration in your environment. Skip the instructions and manuals and save time.

    The consultant will remotely help your dedicated IT administrator install PM Central on one environment with up to two Web front-end servers.

    Once PM Central is installed, let a Bamboo PM Central consultant lead you through the configuration and customization of the tool. Referencing your company's existing project management process, the consultant will map it to PM Central's capabilities. The consultant also will create a helpful user guide for future reference. The end result will be a design and configuration for PMC that details the information in each tab for the portfolio, department level, and a project site template.

    Bamboo conducts all of its projects using common tools, techniques and methods. Some key principals of operation include:

    • Deploying "reusable components", such as templates, guidelines, check lists and best practices to facilitate work activities
    • Assigning a Project Manager as a single point of contact
    • Delivering project work through an industry focused professional services organization
