User;s Guide

[Phil Ball]

Is there a document or guide that can provide information on how to actually
use Project Server? I have seen implementing guides, configuration guides
etc. How do I view a collection of projects created in Pro 2007 (desktop)
that are published to a server? I would need to be able to track milestones,
project phases etc.

If you need something free, refer to the following:

If you are willing to spend a little money, you might want to purchase our
Managing Enterprise Projects using Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 book
at:

http://www.projectserverbooks.com

Hope this helps.

Hi Phil,
To my knowledge such a document doesn't exist as each companies' processes
and requirements are different. However, there are some standard things that
people want to do, and some of these I've blogged (see URL below). In
terms of viewing a collection of projects, then Project Web Access is your
answer here (the project centre). Tracking milestones is done in the usual
way as per project, tracking phases is done via Enterprise Custom fields. As
I said, each person's requirements are different.

I do have a book by Rob Stewart and Dave Gochberg, but there isn't much in
the way of how Project Pro 2007 (desktop) and Project Server integrate.
does Project Server allow me to view all of the projects published via the
Collaborate menu?

Phil:

I believe that our book: Managing Enterprise Projects using Microsoft Office
Project Server 2007 (Second Edition) is the only book that covers this
subject matter in its entirety.
