EPM Live just returned from The Microsoft SharePoint Conference 2011 in Anaheim, and I have to say -what a great show!

At EPM Live, we confront many of the same challenges our customers face in regards to managing all types of projects. For example, we have a managed services division of the company that manages customer deployments using a traditional waterfall type of methodology. This model supports defined stages and allows for thorough planning, logical design, implementation and deployment. On the other front, we also have our product development department using an Agile approach to managing our product releases. For those that are not familiar with Agile, we basically develop in short and frequent sprints or iterations by cutting down the “big picture” into puzzle size bits, and fitting them together when the time is right. This allows our product team to focus on “the now” (what is currently happening) and take into account any feedback, shifts or changes that may occur and respond quickly. Now, the challenge… we were all working within our own WorkEngine product to manage [Read More]
For this blog post, I thought I’d share some “outside the box” ideas on how to extend your current SharePoint Project Management environment by adding the power of WorkEngine’s Cost Management capabilities. For instance, imagine you are using SharePoint to manage your bids and proposals. SharePoint offers a great enterprise content and collaboration platform to manage, collaborate and share complex RFQs with many suppliers and subcontractors. Throughout the purchasing lifecycle, organizations have activities that need to be managed for managing requisitions, bidding information, tender documents, RFQ, supplier responses, purchase orders and much more. If you are familiar with WorkEngine’s Work Management capabilities, it’s easy to understand how it will augment your SharePoint solution with visibility and tracking to all your work associated across multiple bids and proposals. Now let’s take it a step further. With WorkEngine’s Cost [Read More]
