12. Too many projects Different audiences needing different information Don’t know what people are working on, what we can deliver and when Regenerating the same data over and over manually (email a spreadsheet around) Resources teams don’t know what to work on next No two project plans look alike Every estimate is different Process can’t grow to accommodate more demand No history of what issues we can learn from No common understanding of project constraints (resource, time, cost) Why should we care?

Project 2010 builds on the foundation of Project 2007to provide work management solutions for individuals, teams and the enterprise. The architectural improvements in Microsoft Office Project 2007 provided a strong foundation to develop innovative new capabilities that will further differentiate Project from other PPM vendors. Microsoft Project 2010 includes continued investments in Project Standard, Professional, and the Enterprise Project Management (EPM) Solution to provide executives, portfolio analysts, managers, and team members with productivity tools to effectively manage all work (both non-project and project) throughout its lifecycle, and ensure alignment with the organization’s business strategy.
