The document discusses using SharePoint for project management. It outlines some of the pain points project managers face like spending too much time in meetings and emails. SharePoint can help by providing a central place for project information, documents, tasks and reporting. This allows for better collaboration and productivity. Implementing SharePoint correctly can save project managers 30 minutes per day by reducing time spent searching for information.

21. SharePoint has a self service model Do you need SharePoint for project management? Ask yourself ‘ What is your almost certain predictable future with your organization’s projects?’ More projects? Less resources Greater demands from the business on performance Shorter time frames Why InterDyn? Why not internal resources? Deploy right 1 st time Try to do it? Do internal resources have the availability to focus on the deployment. More than a web file storage site Can the business wait? This is a major win in any organization-to take your organization to the next level.
