Manage your projects on the go with new PM Central Mobile!

Ready for SharePoint 2010? So are we! PM Central is now available for SharePoint 2010.

Too many tasks to track, issues to follow up on, reports to create AND not enough time?

Every business has projects and the headaches that seem to always come with managing them. Many of these projects are mission critical. There are many options for managing projects electronically and individually, but nearly all of them require heavy IT resources, development and a large budget. And if you are at the upper management level, the amount of work that goes into compiling all project status data into one meaningful view can take just as long as the project itself!

SharePoint Project Management Central (PM Central) focuses exclusively on providing a centralized location where you can view and provide real-time status of your company's entire project portfolio while enforcing uniform data control over the project data from individual projects. The tailored project workspace site template that is included lets project teams proactively track, organize, maintain, and report statuses, tasks, risks, resources and issues for projects within an organization—allowing you to effectively communicate project expectations to team members and stakeholders in a clear, timely fashion from the task level to an executive summary.

SharePoint Project Management Central

With Bamboo's PM Central, you can control and manage your projects, programs and entire portfolios for you, your team members and your boss from a single, easy-to-use workspace.

New: PM Central Mobile! Now you can manage your projects and teams on the go, no matter where you are—all you need is a smart phone or mobile device and PM Central Mobile. PM Central Mobile allows project managers and team members to stay on top of their tasks and projects, contribute to discussion boards, e-mail the project team, create new issues and tasks, and more. With PM Central Mobile, you can perform many of the day-to-day functions in PM Central using your mobile device or smart phone. Any changes you make using PM Central Mobile are automatically reflected in your Web-based project and portfolio sites. PM Central Mobile requires PM Central for SharePoint 2007 R1.8 or newer.

PM Central automatically tracks individual projects across your company in one workspace. Project team members only need to update the information in a particular list on their project site, and their data is automatically populated in all related areas on the top level project portfolio site. In this top level site, the data from all project sites is aggregated for display in portfolio dashboards to provide real-time, at-a-glance executive information.

SharePoint Project Management Central consists of two site templates:

The Portfolio site (top level site): This site shows the aggregated data of all of its project sub-sites. It contains multiple dashboards that report on tasks, issues, risks and schedules. You can have just one portfolio site per site collection so that you can rollup all project sites to just one portfolio site, or you can have multiple portfolio sites with their own set of project sites. This site is only considered a top level site to its project sub-sites. It does not have to be the top level site of your site collection.

The Project site: This site is a sub-site of the Portfolio site and is designed to have its data rolled up to the portfolio site for a comprehensive status of all projects in your portfolio. It is an enhanced template that enforces uniform project data input, visual status of tasks and issues, a Gantt View to track all project tasks at once, and a place for uploading documents, conducting online project related discussions and managing users and groups separately from the Portfolio site (if necessary).

These sites are made up of several Bamboo Web Parts that we provide on our storefront today but have been tailored for this application, along with some custom Web Parts and project management process logic.

To get started with PM Central, just do the following:

1. Create and lightly configure the Portfolio site.
2. Create and lightly configure a Project site for each project you want in your portfolio.
3. Upload existing project data to the Project site using List Bulk Import, or input project data manually.
4. Start using PM Central to manage projects and status.
