Project Server Help Blog

Imagine your My Tasks Page in Project Web Access with summary tasks, a navigation tool that allows you to page by project and controls for the grid display. Picture a dashboard that displays your time entry totals by day, week and project as you type. This should be music to the ears of any regular Project Server user. So, I'd like to take this opportunity to announce MSProjectExperts' new line of web parts and VSTO add-ins for Microsoft Office Project 2007 and Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 that address the usability enhancements that people most often ask for when we talk with them in the Microsoft Communities.

At our annual company retreat last year, our team brainstormed our recession realignment strategy for turning what we viewed as inevitable downtime into a new value stream for the company. In examining the market conditions, we concluded that the market would welcome easy to install shareware-priced add-ons that boost user satisfaction and, in some cases, remove obstacles to adoption. Filling the frustrating usability gaps in the application interface has always been on our product radar, but the downturn in the economy finally gave us the impetus to move forward with this program. Our first release wave includes web parts containing the most-asked-for enhancements to the Project Web Access interface with a distinct focus on the My Tasks page. We have a similar series in development for the My Timesheet page, and our near-future product pipeline includes timeless tools for Microsoft Project, custom event handlers, reports, services and web parts that you can plug into the Microsoft EPM Platform to quickly address popular user demands and deliver added value with only a petty-cash investment.
