Microsoft SharePoint is an excellent platform which allows organizations of all sizes to collaborate more efficiently on projects of all types.

When SharePoint is setup the correct way it can be used to manage projects and programs in a really successful manner. We at BrightWork have a solution for managing work and projects on SharePoint and as such have seen many instances of SharePoint used really well and also deployed very poorly for Project Management.

Since Project Management is a business process and a discipline, having sustained and successful project management in place is very challenging for most organizations. BrightWork have looked over hundreds of deployments to find the factors most critical for success.
