pmPoint Overview Movie
Unlike ad hoc tools such as email and Excel, or even the larger traditional project and portfolio management solutions, pmPoint delivers a complete and pragmatic project management system that is rapid-to-deploy, enables broad adoption, and has a low ownership cost. pmPoint can be used with or without Microsoft Project as the needs of the project dictate.
Walking the Line
Walk the Process Line Diagram
The level of project management process that an organization requires and can adopt depends on the organization itself and the projects and work being managed. The 'walk the process line' popup diagram on the right hand side depicts the varied levels of work and project management process needed in today's organizations and the corresponding SharePoint based-solutions offered by pmPoint and Microsoft. Most of the organizations we serve manage projects at multiple different points on the line.
