Organizing Projects

[Ryan]

Is using Enterprise Outline Codes the best (only) way to organize projects?
With just a few departments we already have a large number of Projects to
wade through. A folder structure would be ideal. (I'm talking about the
view you see when you try to open a server project w/ Project Pro 2003)

Thanks,
Ryan

I would suggest that you use, security, grops and RBS so that a user can only
see the projects they own or the projects of those who report to them.

Ryan:

It's the only way to organize them in the Open from Server dialog, if that's
what you're getting at. You should use these judiciously as they become
dimensions in the OLAP cube. You can use any enterprise custom field to
group and sort in Project Center views. Using the Project Center as an entry
point to opening projects is a smart technique to get your PMs in the habit
of using if you have a large portfolio.
