Microsoft Project 2003 Server (Enterprise)
Microsoft Project Server is a web-based project management environment that allows project owners, project managers, team members and stakeholders to communicate those aspects of a project important to them - wherever they are in the world.
Project plans are developed in Microsoft Project in the usual way and then are published to the web from which these various players, under password privilege, can access information.
Project owners and sponsors can get high-level progress updates using a variety of reporting mechanisms, including traffic lights, while team members can receive their assignments and report progress on them easily and quickly.
