Project Server – Why or Why Not?

The decision whether to move to Project Server 2010 is
related to the following factors:
   o Where you are on the maturity scale
   o The complexity of your projects
   o The size of your portfolio of projects
   o Your need to manage resources
   o The amount of effort required to produce reports and
     dashboards
   o The amount of pain lack of governance is causing
