What’s SharePoint?
Allows individuals in an organization to easily create and manage their own collaborative Web sites Simplifies how people find and share information across boundaries,
and enabling better informed decisions Seamlessly integrates with Windows and MS Office
Does not refer to a specific product or technology Using the word “Microsoft SharePoint” is like using the word
“Microsoft Office” Refers to several aspects of Web-based collaborative solutions
Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 3.0 Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007
![Page 8: SP Summit 2009: Leveraging SP for PM PPT](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55580927d8b42a200d8b55d6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

WSS vs MOSS
WSS is the core technology of Microsoft SharePoint If SharePoint is a car, WSS can be considered the “engine” Provides the core technology that supports document management
and team collaboration WSS is available for free as long as your organization is utilizing
Windows Server 2003 or above MOSS extends the capabilities of WSS
Going back to our car analogy, MOSS provides extended capabilities such as GPS, a DVD system, Voice Commands
Extended features include Enterprise search, Personalization, Enterprise Content Management, etc.
Unlike WSS, MOSS is not available for free

SharePoint as a PMIS?
Individual projects can have a collaborative web site Access can be limited to the project team and
appropriate stakeholders Project artifacts can be centrally stored and maintained Project communications can be streamlined Relatively easy to use
IT intervention is minimal Based on familiar tools and
technologies: Web, Windows, Microsoft Office
![Page 14: SP Summit 2009: Leveraging SP for PM PPT](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55580927d8b42a200d8b55d6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Laying the Foundation
As soon as the project gets started, a PMIS should be created In SharePoint, the first step is to create a site
![Page 16: SP Summit 2009: Leveraging SP for PM PPT](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55580927d8b42a200d8b55d6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

SharePoint Site Hierarchy
SharePoint sites are organized in a hierarchy Top-level site Sub-site
Site Collection
Top-level site
Sub-sites
![Page 17: SP Summit 2009: Leveraging SP for PM PPT](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55580927d8b42a200d8b55d6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Deciding PMIS Hierarchy
With your organization, choose one of the two high-level PMIS hierarchy options: Single site collection that includes a top-level PMO site and all
project sites are sub-sites Multiple site collections where each
project site is an independent site collection
![Page 18: SP Summit 2009: Leveraging SP for PM PPT](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55580927d8b42a200d8b55d6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Site Creation
Two main ways of creating a SharePoint sub-site Directly from a top-level site using a Web browser From any Microsoft Office application
Steps to create a sub-site: 1. Go to the Create page 2. Select Sites and Workspaces 3. Specify Site Creation Settings
![Page 19: SP Summit 2009: Leveraging SP for PM PPT](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55580927d8b42a200d8b55d6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Workshop 1: Creating a SharePoint PMIS
Please refer to the Workshop Manual

![Page 22: SP Summit 2009: Leveraging SP for PM PPT](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55580927d8b42a200d8b55d6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
PMIS Should Enable the Project Team to
Centralize project information May include project contacts, calendar, documents, templates,
forms, and checklists Maintain history & define access privileges
Facilitate project communication and collaboration Collaborative activities such as scheduling a meeting, jointly
developing a proposal or informally brainstorming on project strategies should be supported
Automate project processes In SharePoint, information is stored and organized in lists and libraries
![Page 23: SP Summit 2009: Leveraging SP for PM PPT](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55580927d8b42a200d8b55d6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
SharePoint Lists
A collection of shared information items Most of the information in a SharePoint site is organized and stored
in lists Everyone who has access to the site is able to view lists
Viewing a list is comparable to viewing information in a spreadsheet
![Page 24: SP Summit 2009: Leveraging SP for PM PPT](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55580927d8b42a200d8b55d6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Common Lists in a SharePoint PMIS
Calendar Contacts Project task Issue tracking Custom Lists
Resource List Budget
![Page 25: SP Summit 2009: Leveraging SP for PM PPT](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55580927d8b42a200d8b55d6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Components of a List
Lists are composed of two key sections 1. List toolbar
– New – Actions – Settings – View
2. List item(s)
![Page 26: SP Summit 2009: Leveraging SP for PM PPT](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55580927d8b42a200d8b55d6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Libraries
Files are stored and organized in libraries Similar to storing files in folders
Provides a centralized location Document storage Controlled access of documents
Libraries are advanced lists Features and functionalities in lists are mostly applicable to libraries
There are four types of libraries In a PMIS, you would typically use a document library
![Page 29: SP Summit 2009: Leveraging SP for PM PPT](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55580927d8b42a200d8b55d6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Adapting Communications Requirements
Time and effort are invested in planning project communications Project communication plan should map to SharePoint access
requirements Information needs of stakeholders
Identify the type of information a stakeholder would need What is the frequency? Will they retrieve the information or should it be sent to them?
Stakeholder influence and interest defines PMIS access How much access would a stakeholder have?
![Page 33: SP Summit 2009: Leveraging SP for PM PPT](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55580927d8b42a200d8b55d6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Example: Project Kona Communication Needs
Chief Executive Officer Regular e-mail updates on project milestones and risks
Chief Financial Officer Access to project budget information Reviews and updates any change to project finances
Chief Compliance Office Monitors project process compliance Reviews and updates project risks
Program Manager Reviews project tasks, milestones, and risks
Other Project Managers All project managers will review and update project information from
other teams to share lessons learned and satisfy continuous improvement process
![Page 34: SP Summit 2009: Leveraging SP for PM PPT](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55580927d8b42a200d8b55d6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
SharePoint Site Access
SharePoint sites are intended for a community of users It is the responsibility of the site owner to define who the site
members are Typically, site membership is defined when the site is being created
Site membership also defines what the member can do How are site members added?
1. Site members can be manually added by the site owner 2. Site access can be requested by any user
![Page 35: SP Summit 2009: Leveraging SP for PM PPT](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55580927d8b42a200d8b55d6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Permissions
Two ways to assign site permissions SharePoint Groups Individual user permissions
Default permission levels in SharePoint include: Full Control: has full site control Design: can add content and customize pages Contribute: can add content Read: has read-only access to the site
Multiple permission layers Site List or Library Item-level
Best Practice: vast majority of users will have Contribute permission
![Page 36: SP Summit 2009: Leveraging SP for PM PPT](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55580927d8b42a200d8b55d6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Example: Project Kona Communications Plan
Stakeholder Contacts Issues Tasks Change Control Calendar
CEO C R R C R
PMO
Other PMs
Finance
FC = Full Control D = Design C = Contribute R = Reader

The Challenge of a Major Technology Rollout Is …
Remember, people can change as The change is worthwhile It would bring great benefits primarily at a personal level then at
the organizational level
It must be considered that there is nothing more difficult to carry out nor more doubtful of success nor more dangerous to handle than to initiate a
new order of things.
—Niccolò Machiavelli, Italian statesman and philosopher
