Project Online provides many powerful reporting tools and is a treasure trove of information. However, many organizations have other data sources that affect or otherwise influence the data from Project.

It is common to have other internal or external data sources that, when combined with Project data provides a richer source of information.

While the core of the data might be from Project Online there may be other data sources that can be combined to present a fuller portrait.

In this presentation Collin Quiring will set up Project Online to have the right data but then about combining that data with other data sources into a visual dashboard.

This can make decision making a bit easier as decision-makers don’t have to look into one system for one set of data and another system for another set of data and then combine those in their head with scheduling data.

With the data combined into one dashboard all the key metrics from all of the systems can be used together.

Presenter: Collin Quiring (LinkedIn profile), MBA, OPM3, PMP, MCTS, MCT, CIRM is a capable professional with over 20 years of experience in several industries supporting Project Management, Resource Management, Product Development, Systems Administration, and Training.

It’s Time To Start Your Project!

Correctly implementing your project means it must be monitored and controlled using an accurate status gathered from your team.

In this webinar, Walter Stinnett will discuss the importance of gathering accurate status information and learn to create a custom status view for maximum efficiency – regardless if you manage durations and %Complete or actual and remaining work hours.
