Plug-and-Play Apps for SharePoint-Build Your Own Apps Using CorasWorks Platform

Greatly enhance your Project & Portfolio Management (PPM) capabilities on SharePoint with the latest addition to the CorasWorks AppStore for SharePoint.

The most-downloaded application in the CorasWorks AppStore for SharePoint (http://community.cora...) , PPM v1.2 allows project managers and project teams to 1.) create, contribute to, manage, track & report on individual projects, 2.) create & manage multiple portfolios of projects, 3.) gain visibility, insight and control of all project-related activities through drilldown dashboards & reporting.

PPM system allows you to integrate a distributed project environment into a single, centrally managed system. Changes can be made centrally without the need to touch the distributed sites. It is easy to get started with and to customize using point and click wizards. It can be extended to connect with other SharePoint apps and sites and to integrate external data, applications, and services. This puts external shared resources at the fingertips of users within project sites to help them optimize their productivity.

A brand new PMO module provides a framework for overall project governance, from initiation to completion. It governs the initial submission of project proposals, project approval & initiation, and tracking of the progress of the project through completion. It allows organizations to add existing sites or portfolios to the PMO, and it allows the PMO to discover new projects or portfolios across the environment that could be brought under governance.

Integration with Microsoft Project provides for bi-directional synchronization of task information & work breakdown schedules. This feature allows PM’s to manage their project plan in Microsoft Project and leverage the deeper feature set for planning projects. Thre is also a full mobility capability for users to work with the PPM while on the go via their phones and handheld devices too.

The PPM application is used to perform and govern the an end-to-end project environment across SharePoint.
