BrightWork and Microsoft Project 2010 and SharePoint 2010

I got a few questions last week asking for screenshots of how BrightWork pmPoint and Microsoft Project 2010 work together.  See screenshots below.  I think this is a great story! 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Screenshot 1 – The project plan is Imported from Project Desktop 2010 Professional into SharePoint 2010 using the new really cool Project-to-SharePoint synchronization capability built into Project 2010.  This is the resulting Gantt I see native in SharePoint 2010.  (Note that each phase in the project plan is a hyperlink to the tasks in that phase.  This means to see the tasks in any phase you need to click that link to drill down into that phase.)

Screenshot 2 – To see the tasks in the “Project Initiation” phase tasks I click through – but I then cannot see the rest of the project i.e., I can only see one phase of the project plan at a time once in SharePoint 2010.  (Note as well, as with prior versions of SharePoint, there is no “out of the box” way to see reports showing multiple published projects in SharePoint.)

Screenshot 3 – This screenshot shows a Gantt chart in SharePoint (powered by pmPoint) that shows the entire task list (that had just been synch’ed in from Project Desktop Pro 2010) – This pmPoint powered Gantt chart has in-browser zoom, expand, collapse, different color options, end user configuration options, etc.  This is an example of value add pmPoint brings to SharePoint 2010 for project management.

Screenshot 4 – A SharePoint Dashboard of Multiple Projects (powered by pmPoint) – some projects with MS Project Schedules synch’ed in and some projects with simple task lists (that did not come from MS Project).  This is another example of the pmPoint value add – getting over the fact that there is no “out of the box” way to see reports showing multiple published projects in SharePoint.
