INTRODUCTION
This appendix provides a concise guide to using Microsoft Office Project Professional 2007
(often referred to as Project 2007) to assist in performing project management functions.
The Office Project 2007 family includes several different products:
● Project Standard 2007, a non-Web-based, stand-alone program for individuals
who manage projects independently, similar to earlier versions of Project
Standard.
● Project Professional 2007, which is basically Project Standard 2007 plus Project
Web Access and allows you to connect to Project Server 2007, if available. (Note:
This text includes a 60-day trial of Project Professional 2007. This guide does not
include information on connecting to Project Server 2007.)
● The Microsoft Office Enterprise Project Management (EPM) Solution, which
combines Project Server 2007, Project Professional 2007, Project Web Access,
Project Portfolio Server 2007, and Project Portfolio Web Access to form a business
solution for organizations, departments, and teams. As its name suggests,
this version is designed for use across an enterprise and provides project
portfolio management capabilities. Organizations should develop and apply
many standards, templates, codes, and procedures before using the enterprise
version of Project 2007 to make the best use of its capabilities.
