Chapter 1: Understanding 
Project Server

In This Chapter

ecause you’re reading this book, we can safely assume that the prod-
ucts or services your organization provides are best accomplished in a

project environment. We can also safely assume that you have a limited staff
available to complete all your projects. In an organization where most of the
work happens in a project environment using the same resources, the organ-
ization needs to manage the management of projects to maximize productiv-
ity and profit.

Enter Project Server. Project Server answers the needs of an enterprise to
manage multiple projects that draw their resources from a common resource
pool. This chapter describes the basics of how Project Server functions and
how to approach using Project Server.

What Is Project Server?

Project Server provides your organization with one central database,
located on a Web server or in a server farm on your company’s local area
network (LAN) or intranet, in which you store all projects and all resources
for your organization. Using Project Server, you can

✦ View a project’s Gantt chart

✦ Enter and view timesheet information

✦ Update assignments with progress and completion information

✦ Send status reports to the project manager

✦ Receive notices about task status

✦ Receive, refuse, and delegate work assignments
