“Managing Projects on SharePoint
     is as simple as 1-2-3!”

       A Webcast Presentation

Managing Projects in 3 Steps
The Dilemma!
   The customers we meet are at pains to tell us that they do not have the
   time or the budget to train the folks in formal project management – but
   yet they need project management discipline. They want an approach
   so simple that it is obvious – that assumes a SharePoint deployment.
A Simple Solution
   Over the years we have been helping customers develop such a simple
   approach. More recently we have been working on a process that can
   be described and always decomposed into three steps. Why three steps
   every time? Why not? Three is an easy number to work with. It is a bit
   quirky and fun. It is easier to remember and manage. It forces us all to
   be concise rather than long-winded.
This Webcast:
   will present a simple 1-2-3 process that can be used for project
   management
   show how this simple 1-2-3 process can be implemented on the
   SharePoint platform

  • 2. Managing Projects in 3 Steps The Dilemma! The customers we meet are at pains to tell us that they do not have the time or the budget to train the folks in formal project management – but yet they need project management discipline. They want an approach so simple that it is obvious – that assumes a SharePoint deployment. A Simple Solution Over the years we have been helping customers develop such a simple approach. More recently we have been working on a process that can be described and always decomposed into three steps. Why three steps every time? Why not? Three is an easy number to work with. It is a bit quirky and fun. It is easier to remember and manage. It forces us all to be concise rather than long-winded. This Webcast: will present a simple 1-2-3 process that can be used for project management show how this simple 1-2-3 process can be implemented on the SharePoint platform
