Microsoft unveils 'Projects for Workgroups'

Microsoft has introduced a program for its US partners working with Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 called 'Project for Workgroups,' states Redmond Developer News.

The program features a Web portal where partners can share workflow processes, report templates, project methodologies and other project management assets associated with Office Project Server 2007.

Project for Workgroups provides solutions built by Microsoft's partners to create enterprise project management systems.

IBM has upgraded its rational development tools to include Rational Insight, a new project management dashboard for the toolset, reports InformationWeek.

Insight is built on the data mining and presentation software acquired in IBM's purchase of Cognos.

The dashboard is intended to allow business managers pull key data on software development and modifications into progress charts.

As the global audience of iPhone and iPod embrace this handheld Internet-connected multimedia player and smartphone gadget, the Project Management Advanced Business Consulting, a registered education provider of Project Management Institute, has developed the world's first project management audio book, says Taiwan News.

This audio book integrates learning activities with the versatility and mobility of iPhone and iPod, where a joint force of playing and learning, project management and entertainment, has made a great manifestation on this 21st-century device.

iPhone and iPod have not only re-defined the mobile phone and MP3 player, but their 3x5-inch multi-touch screen has become a fantastic stage for the display of the most advanced wireless technologies.
