Upcoming MPUG Global Chapter Events and WebNLearns!
Featured Event: Mar 11, 2009 WebNLearn: Portfolio Management and "Governance" -- What's It All About?
Governance and enterprise portfolio management are complementary processes and techniques that are mandatory in order for organizations to successfully support corporate strategic objectives. Implementing a portfolio dashboard without strong governance processes in place just makes poor execution more visible. And governance processes alone won’t allow executive decision-makers to continually evaluate the ever changing business environment or adjust IT priorities to effectively support the changes. This presentation will show the steps to creating a highly functional PMO to improve the ability of any organization to balance budgets, prioritize efforts, and easily plan resource requirements to provide real value to the organization. Presented by Serena Frank and Rich Murphy, Managing Partner, EPK.

Mar 5, 2009 NorthEast Connection WebNLearn: Give Your Project Workspaces a Facelift
One of the most powerful features in Project Server 2007 is the Project Workspace, which is created for each project in the system. These SharePoint collaboration web sites not only come with several powerful features "in the box" such as Issue logs, Risk logs, and Project Document libraries that help project team participants share information, but because they're built using SharePoint technologies, you can also easily add more features and change the design of the Project Workspace -- without the need for any custom programming. MCTS Tony Zink, MSProjectExperts, will show how to give your Project Workspaces a facelift by manipulating the built-in features, adding new features, and changing the overall look and feel of this powerful project collaboration tool.
