| DESCRIPTION |
Designed for the individual performing the major business analysis, functional implementation and configuration of a Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 deployment - a role defined as the Admin Professional. This online instructor led, hands on lab course provides the steps necessary for mapping business analysis, design and configuration requirements to the feature set and functional capabilities of a Project Server implementation. The course is divided between 4 to 5 hours of instructor led sessions and 1 to 3 hours of student self paced labs which carry the majority of the administration hands on learning material. It is important for students to review and complete the daily labs which are an extension of the daily concepts and provide additional content and commentary.
For prospective students who also attend the ITPro course please not that Day 1 and Day 4 of AdminPro is similar content already covered under ITPro. |
| DAILY AGENDA |
Is designed to provide students with a comprehensive overview of the EPM Solution and related technologies. Students will learn how organizations can benefit from integrating Office Project Portfolio Server 2007, Office Project Server 2007 and Visual Team Foundation Server as well as gain insight into capabilities and functionality, implementation processes and required roles and responsibilities to ensure a successful EPM Solution deployment.
Will introduce students to a walkthrough of Project Server from Central Administration to Project Server Administration, a look at tools and utilities, a review of the SDK and review of standard Use Cases and the Configuration spreadsheet as an example of capturing requirements. Following sessions will review the principal Administration Areas and how to customize Project Web Access.
Will introduce students to security/role delegation and familiarize them on application security best practices as well as the user interface for configuring the solution. The next session will cover timesheet and task management. Day 3 presentations are slightly shorter than other days as the Security and Task Status/Timesheet self paced labs require additional time to complete.
Covers the queue architecture and administration. The final material reviews operations and maintenance and troubleshooting techniques for the administrator and completion of the final lab material. |
| WHAT TO EXPECT |
| Students who attend this course can expect four days of online instructor led presentations and an assisted hands-on learning environment with the Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 system, including reviewing a configuration management approach to capturing requirements from a set of predefined use cases and mapping the design to the settings, security, views, roles, custom fields and lookup tables, resources, timesheet settings through a configuration spreadsheet. This is an accelerated fast pace course recommended for practitioners of Project Server 2007 with prior experience in implementations playing the role of the Project Server administrator. Due to the instructional design of the course, students that participate should feel comfortable interacting in an online virtual classroom environment with communication via telephone and the virtual classroom tools. |
| WHO SHOULD ATTEND |
| This course is designed to ready a role that we call the Admin Professional (also known at the “Business Architect”). This individual may be an individual within the Project Management Organization (PMO) or a person given the mandate to successfully implement and administer the Enterprise Project Management system so the organization can successfully extract value from project, portfolio and resource management practices. This course does not touch on concepts such as installation, technical configuration and management of a Project Server 2007 installation from the IT Professional standpoint - refer to the IT Professional – Technical Implementation and Configuration of an EPM Solution (Project Server 2007 Focus) course for information on this. |
| STUDENT KNOWLEDGE REQUIREMENTS |
| A working knowledge of how to install, configure and manage a Project Server 2003 system, plus an understanding of Windows SharePoint Services and SQL Server management is an advantage but not a prerequisite. |
| CLASS TIME REQUIREMENTS |
| This is a four day online class where the student will participate in 4 – 5 hours of online instructor led classroom time and about 1 - 3 hours of hosted hands on lab time per day. |
| CLASSROOM ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS |
| This course is offered as a virtual classroom, which means students attend from their home or office using Live Meeting and a telephone. Requirements to attend this course include: A laptop or desktop machine, a dedicated high-speed connection and the ability to dial into a toll free number for up to 5 hours/day. Students are expected to review all materials covered during prior day sessions in order to facilitate the learning environment. Note: All classes are in English only |
| CLASSROOM ATTENDANCE RECOMMENDATIONS |
| Since this is a virtual class where the student will be viewing classroom material via Live Meeting, and interacting with a Hosted Hands on Lab Environment, we recommend the student to have either 2 machines (one for Live Meeting and one for Hosted Hands on Lab) or a single machine with dual screens. |
