Microsoft Project Professional 2002 - Upgrade(Part#:H30-00188)
Brand New, Factory Sealed, Upgrade Version Retail Box

Microsoft® Project Professional 2002 is the new Microsoft Office project management program intended to be used with Microsoft Project Server 2002 for enterprise project management. It has all the core project management features found in Microsoft Project Standard, so you can manage your project plans, communicate project status, and report project information quickly and efficiently. When used with Microsoft Project Server, it also includes enterprise resource management capabilities and portfolio management features, such as real-time reporting and scenario analysis tools. These tools enable project managers and business decision-makers to view project and resource information across their department or entire organization.

To achieve the full benefit of the enterprise resource and portfolio management features, Microsoft Project Professional must be used with Microsoft Project Server and Microsoft Project Server Client Access License(s) (CALs).

• Microsoft Project Server centrally stores the project and resource information that is published from Microsoft Project Professional. Microsoft Project Server extends this information to project teams through its Web portal, called Microsoft Project Web Access.
•  Microsoft Project Server CALs provide team members and stakeholders with access and edit rights to personalized views of project information - without requiring them to have a copy of Microsoft Project on their desktop. All your team needs is CALs and a Web browser to view, analyze and interact with project information through Microsoft Project Web Access. In Microsoft Project Web Access, team members can enter task progress, which can automatically be updated into the project plan in Microsoft Project Professional.
Features

•  Manage projects smarter and more efficiently. Microsoft Project Professional includes all the core project management features included in Microsoft Project Standard, so you can easily and quickly set up task and resource assignments and track and report project progress.
• Manage resources across your organization*. Get accurate information about resource utilization and skills across your organization. With Microsoft Project Professional, you can assemble the best team for each project based on resource skills and assignments with the help of new features like Resource Substitution Wizard and Build Team from Enterprise. Use the Resource Center in Microsoft Project Web Access to view, group, and edit resource information and even evaluate resource utilization and availability across multiple projects.
• Share Information*. Give team members and stakeholders the ability to view, update and analyze project information right from their Web browsers. Let team members, external partners, and other stakeholders easily access and analyze role-specific information through Microsoft Project Web Access — only Microsoft Project Server CALs are required. Enhance project collaboration and knowledge sharing with SharePoint™ Team Services from Microsoft, which provides a central location for organizing and tracking project-related documents and issues.
• Analyze and report project information*. Microsoft Project Professional – along with Microsoft Project Server and CALs - delivers portfolio management, real-time reporting, analysis, and modeling capabilities. Once project plans have been published from Microsoft Project Professional to Microsoft Project Server, project managers, executives, and other stakeholders can use Microsoft Project Web Access – the Microsoft Project Server Web interface - to analyze project data across their organization.
• Promote Standardization*. Deploy enterprise templates and custom fields that enable consistent reporting across your project portfolio. Use the enterprise global template to define key resource information, such as skills and location, to better evaluate schedules, costs, and utilization rates across the organization.
• Requires Microsoft Project Server 2002 and Microsoft Project Server Client Access License(s) (CALs) for workgroup collaboration and/or enterprise project management. Microsoft Project Server includes Microsoft SharePoint™ Team Services and Microsoft SQL Server™ 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE). Microsoft Project Server 2002 requires Microsoft Windows® 2000 Server. For enterprise project management, Microsoft Project Server 2002 requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and Analysis Services (included with Microsoft SQL Server 2000) for OLAP reporting.
