Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Power User Cookbook

Project Management composite application

Composite applications do not need to be complex. This example shows you how to combine existing SharePoint functionality in a SharePoint 2010 Team Site to create a simple but effective Project Management solution.

The problem

My company has decided to create a SharePoint Power User portal on the Internet to support this book. We have created the high-level concept ("SharePoint Mentor") but now need to set up and execute a project to turn our concept into reality. We need to be able to assemble our project team, create a simple project plan, allocate and track tasks, share documents and knowledge, capture and discuss ideas, and track our progress against the project goals and deadlines.
