ValleySpeak Project Server As A Microsoft Project viewer

Introduction Sharing Microsoft Project schedules with team members is a huge challenge for Project Managers. Since Microsoft Project licenses are costly and most team members apply only a small subset of the functionality of Microsoft Project, using an Microsoft Project MPP record viewer is a credible cost saving measure. ValleySpeak Project Server can be used as a Microsoft Project viewer and more. Not only can the team members see Microsoft Project schedules, however also they can submit updates for their tasks on the schedules. This allows the Project Manager to get real-time feedback about task status from their teams while still allowing the Project Managers 100% control to approve or disapprove the changes submitted by the team. Most Microsoft Project viewers only allow the team members to glance at the project schedule, on the other hand not to give positive lifetime updates back to the Project Manager. In most cases where such read-only viewers are used, the Proje
ct Managers and Team Members have to rely on unstructured emails to communicate status to the Project Manager.
