Project Incentives consultants and developers create automated
interfaces for an organization’s methodology and processes within Microsoft
Project 2002 or 2003. By creating customized Project templates and macros,
the system can easily automate many of the tasks and common procedures across all
organizational projects. For example: evaluation and management of risks,
processes and methods, and integration of tracking and reporting functions
for all projects. In the past, these functions often required third party software
and tools. Now they are easily created and tailored for each
organization from within Project 2002 / 2003 and Project Server.
Before considering a third-party tool or add-on for Microsoft Project, consider the potential
risks associated with relying on smaller niche software vendors:
- Will the company handle bugs and/or
compatibility issues?
- Will the company provide support and/or updates in the future?
- Will the tool negate the support from Microsoft?
- Will the tool scale properly and offer low cost-of-ownership?

Once deployed, the easiest way to increase the ROI of Microsoft Project
2002 / 2003 is to
automate common tasks using various features found within the software itself. No
more third-party tools with questionable compatibility and versioning issues. Plus,
once created, the code can be edited by any internal IT staff (with appropriate system
permissions).
Similar benefits can be had with PI's Project
Guide Development services to integrate the appropriate templates and coding
right into Microsoft Project 2002 / 2003. Project Guide integration of materials
place the information only a click away, no matter where the user is inside of MS Project.
