Can anyone who is a user of the above please tell me the answers to the following:
1/ Are projects/ files still single user or is it a multi-user environment?
2/ Is it any quicker or does it still crash when it gets over 1000 activities?
3/ Can you still have activities not started before the status date.
4/ Can you still have activities completed after the start date?
5/ Does it still not have Unique activity ID’s that work?
6/ Does it still not have an intelligent WBS?
7/ Has it got an OBS yet?
8/ Can it do EVM graphical output?
9/ Does it still represent relationships incorrectly in the network chart?
I know these are fundamental requirements for most systems, has MSP server improved?

MS Project Server is a system where projects are published (saved) to a central database instead of separate files.
The scheduling tool still is MS Project (Professional), with the same pros and cons that a standalone MS Project has.
Project managers / planners still use MS Project to schedule their projects; resources enter their actuals into electronic timesheets in Project Web access, that the project manager can then approve and actualize his project with.
Reporting, and specifically graphics, has improved a bit.
If you want something REALLY DIFFERENT from MS Project classic, MS Project server is not for you.
Alexandre - 0Robyn Brown ·Hi Rob,
I am not sure what your requirements are for MS Project Server, with the standard MS Project (with small modifications) it is possible to create an automated Multi-Networking enviroment, that will
1) Consolidate many single MS Project Networks
2) Harmonize interfaces between the projects
3) Highlight Multi Critical Paths\Drivers
4) Automatic filter for each M\S
5) Baseline Information from each project is transfered into the Multi Network (ie just like Artemis)
6) More Activities more RAM required
7) EVM,ERF,NPV charts can be exported when required.
Many Thanks
Robyn
