My name is Luka Gospodnetic and I work in the company named IN2 (Zagreb). Welcome to my blog which is dedicated to Microsoft Office Project 2007 and it's connection to project management. The blog will cover MS Project basics, advanced issues and also some nice tips & tricks that I hope will help current and maybe future users to master their ability to use MS Project. From time to time I will also try to provide a fun (realistic? :) ) side of the project management such as images, quotes etc.

If you have any questions or just want to say hello, don't hesitate to contact me:

Sharing Microsoft Project - Mark Walhimer

This morning I received an email from Mark Walhimer. I'll copy/paste his text, 'cause I'm lazy :)

Quote: "Thanks for the great blog, lots of good information. Do you have any suggestions about sharing Microsoft project schedules with multiple people without using sever edition? Thanks for the great blog!, Mark"
First of all, thank you Mark. It is very nice to hear that this blog actually helps people.Sharing the project plan is something that everybody figures out for themselves (unless you have the Project Server). I use to do it either by using some kind of version control system (VSS, CVS etc.) or by communicating with my project teammates (verbal, email…).

Of course, if you don’t other people to mess up your project plan, you can always set the password on write permission. This way nobody can edit the project plan without entering the password. (I’ll write a blog post about this as soon as can).

I hope Mark, that this helps you in some way. If not, leave a comment and we can discuss it further. Of course, if anyone else has a better way (there must be someoneJ) please speak J

HTH,
L.

Luka,

 Thanks for the fast reply.  Do you have a preference version control software?  Is there a free program that you like?  I work on both Mac and PC so cross platform would be great.

Thanks for your fine work, Mark

Mark,

For Windows source control I use TortoiseCVS (sourceforge.net/.../tortoisecvs) and Microsoft Visual Source Safe.

I did some googling and got this site (it might help you): www.electricfish.com/.../macvcs

In this nice article the author says that visual source safe could be used along with Mac, but you would have to use a Mac client tool developed by www.Metrowerks.com.

This tool will not be maintained for newer versions of VSS, but that shouldn't bother you since old version of VSS is more than you will need.

HTH,

L.

Hi,

I found out that there is also a SVT (http://subversion.tigris.org/). It should be cross platform.

HTH,

One should first udnerstand objective of MS Project Sharing considering the audience needs.

If MPP is required to information sharing purpose then, MPP Viewer software can also be used.

One can also save MPP as HTML Web page and share with audience.

If it is required to get updates then Project Server/ PWA would be required. Once can also explore MS outlook for tasks sharing & updates integration.

Hope this is useful to you.
