“The new customizable Gantt chart added to pmPoint version 8.0, along with the new work and project management report editor for SharePoint, make pmPoint an extremely practical work and project management plug-in for the SharePoint platform.”

For many organizations that Fifth Discipline assists, projects are now how they define and control all their work, not just big “one-off” undertakings. That means that rather than a formal, temporary project structure using traditional tools like complex, critical path method schedules, teams are turning to lists, documents, discussions and simple dashboards to collaborate on projects and communicate with their stakeholders.
According to Bob Kreha, Managing Partner at Fifth Discipline, “Our clients have been struggling to find the right tool to make that happen. They’ve tried with SharePoint and come close, sensing that SharePoint is the right platform for this type of collaboration. The tools and processes that come with pmPoint, added to the capabilities of the SharePoint base platform, enable them to achieve that goal.”
Kreha adds, “I consider pmPoint a giant leap forward in the world of project management software. Traditionally, project management has been a dark art practiced by the few often at the expense of the many. pmPoint brings project management into the light of day and offers a model for getting work done based on transparency and true collaboration. If you want to work with your teams, and not at them, this is the tool for you.”
