Project Server Data Usage
9/18/ :07 PM Project Server Data Usage Project Management process and standards impact the way data is grouped in the system. Find a balance between the number and size of projects. When project sizes exceed ~ 2000 tasks consider phasing these into separate projects. Use ‘View in MS Project Professional’ feature from Project Center and enterprise outline codes to work with ‘partitioned’ projects efficiently. Avoid PM Practices that require a large number of project baseline saves. Consolidate non-project or Administrative tasks into a small number of Administrative projects 9/18/2018 MPUG-GTA 2005 © 2004 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
