If your company uses Microsoft Windows for your computers, chances are you also have the free version of SharePoint available to you (ask your Windows administrators). If you do, SharePoint is a wonderful tool to use to assist in Project Management and to enhance communication and collaboration on a project.

In the upcoming posts I will address the following topics:

• Part 1 – The Home Page
• Part 2 – Announcements
• Part 3 – Key Lists
• Part 4 – Document Libraries
• Part 5 – Calendars
• Part 6 – The Project Status Dashboard
• Part 7 – Security

I am not going to describe the mechanics of working with SharePoint. Microsoft has plenty of online resources and courses to help you with that. I will focus on how you can take advantage of SharePoint features and functions to assist your project management.
