EPM Updates: The Ribbon; Timeline View; and Service Packs
By Neall A (8 posts -- read other by posts Neall A)
Some interesting news coming out of the Microsoft Project Conference in Seattle about new features in the next version of Microsoft Project (code name: Project Next):
Ribbon UI On Tap For MS ProjectAlice Steinglass, senior program manager in the Project group, demonstrated an upcoming “ribbon” user interface similar to the ribbon in Office 2007. “What the ribbon UI allows us to do is to take these tasks that you do frequently and make them simpler, and also make it easier for a beginning project manager to come in and figure out how to do something, like build a report,” Steinglass said.
She also showed off a new “timeline view” that could be copied from within Project and pasted into PowerPoint or other Office applications. The timeline view will also automatically update as the underlying data changes.
Meanwhile, Microsoft officials also said the company is in the final phases of readying the first service packs for the entire Project line of products, including Office Project Standard & Professional 2007, Office Project Server 2007 and Office Project Portfolio Server 2007.
