Question

Hello all,

Can we intregrate Office Project 2007 with sharepoint?

I want to export Office Project 2007 tasks to sharepoint site task list and vice versa. Is it possible?

Answer 1

You are talking about the Project Client software and not the Project Server software ?

Answer 2

Looks like the same question posted elsewhere to me.

If so NEVER post the same thing to two different forums.

Merging thse two.

> You are talking about the Project Client software and not the Project Server software ?

On reflection Project *Tasks* are I presume only available when using the Project Server software.

In that case this question is in the wrong location and should be asked in a forum/newsgroup dedicated to Project Server questions.

See this official MS post for where these are.

Moving to off-topic.

Answer 4

Thanks for the reply ,

Actually i have little confusion about Project Server 2007 and Office Project 2007 application include in office package.

In my scnerio i have Office Project 2007 standard edition (included in Office 2007) only and on the same machine i have MOSS installed.

I have created one sharepoint site and i want to import MyProject.mpp ( an project file, have project schedule ) file's task to sharepoint task list and vice versa.

Answer 5

OK. Thanks.

If all you want to do is add an mpp file from Project 2007 to SharePoint it is a SharePoint question.

Moving back to SharePoint General! Sorry for the inconvenience.

Answer 6

Ani,

SharePoint doesn't provide this functionality, however EPM Live is an adon component that does allow you to import a Project .mpp file into SharePoint.  It also has web parts that allow you to create projects plans in SharePoint that have a lot of the same functionality as Project 2007.  It's very cool.

If you're looking for a cheaper solution, Bamboo Solutions has a web part that is a glorified tasks list but provides a more useful Gannt chant and a heirarchical view of your project tasks. 

I hope this helps

Steve

Thanks Steve.  Marked as an Answer.

Perhaps the addition of the name of the Bamboo Solutions poduct (SharePoint Task Master) in your text would help save people clicking to find out which Bamboo Solutions web part, but the link does go direct.

Just wanted to let you know of another option-- TeamDirection's IntelliGantt Add In for MS Project. It works with the native SharePoint task lists AND the Bamboo Task Master if you should choose that route. Basically it gives you a choice of which templates to use instead of locking you into one.

It also supports the 'Fabulous Forty' pack from Microsoft, like the very popular Budgeting and Tracking Multiple Projects template. And, if you want a sophisticated template package dedicated to project management, Bamboo's PM Central.
