What’s New In Project Server?
John Carroll (January 25, 2007)

Microsoft Project Server 2007, a companion to Project Professional 2007, provides significant added functionality, including allowing data to be shared with other project stakeholders. Here is a critical review of the product’s evolution and tips for making the most of the new features in conjunction with Project Professional and Web Access.

This is the third in a series of articles reviewing the new capabilities in Microsoft Office Project 2007, Project Server and Project Portfolio Server, and exploring their application on real-world projects.

Microsoft Project 98 was the first release of the product that has now developed into Project 2007. At the time of its initial release there was only one version of Project, and it contained workgroup functionality, which allowed tasks to be allocated to team members and status reports to be requested and submitted by email. With the release of Project 2000, Microsoft introduced its first server product in the Project family, called Project Central). This release provided web access with the facility for team members to view portfolios, projects and assignments; reassign (delegate) tasks; input timesheet details; and write status reports.

With the release of Project 2002, Microsoft introduced the Standard and Professional versions of Project and renamed Project Central to Project Server.
