Handling multiple projects requires more than a gut feeling, some project experience and a basic understanding of baselines and resource utilization. EPM requires a thorough understanding of multiple project interfaces, global templates, web-based project interface amongst team-members, information sharing and security and finally portfolio management. The bottom line is that EPM delivers tools and technology to the project managers that will truly increase their throughput. EPM allows for better time management, resource management and better accountability. Through the use of sophisticated views and dashboards depicting Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) executives can quickly make key decision on resource commitments.

Defining Project Management Methodology
Critical to the success of any project is the Project Manager. His understanding of the policies, procedures, methodology and tools makes the difference between a successful project and a failure. The MS Project Server 2003 Project Manager training takes the Project Manager specifically through all the activities they will be performing in order to plan, track and execute projects. As Project Managers shift their focus to Enterprise Portfolio Management from handling single projects this training will become extremely valuable.
The training will begin with an assessment of EPM knowledge of the project managers. A general review of EPM along with PMBOK and Six Sigma methodology will be conducted.

The Project Manager having established the planning and execution of a project on project server 2003 will continue advanced analysis on the project.
