This is the eBook version of the printed book. Microsoft took a big step in the evolution of Project from being a stand-alone desktop tool to being an enterprise tool with the release of Office Project Server 2003 as an extension to Project itself. Now Office Project Server 2007 takes that evolution to the next level, with a greatly improved and changed toolset, and a completely updated look and feel as well.
