Case Study: Microsoft achieves better project management and product quality with Technology Associates' Project Server 2010 solution

Microsoft Project Development Group Uses Its Own Product to Manage Development

Technology Associates provided Microsoft Project Server 2010 to the Microsoft Corporation's Project Development Group. The customer needed a rich, flexible, and user-friendly project management solution to handle the immense complexity of developing its own new software. The group also sought to overcome internal skepticism about project management and the difficulties of tracking resources and progress across a large team.

The solution from Technology Associates was the implementation of its own prerelease software, Microsoft Project Server 2010. This allowed the customer to manage its entire development portfolio, improve resource allocation, and increase end-user participation in status reporting. The results included smart, data-driven decision-making, a higher quality final product, and an accountable, transparent planning process that gained legitimacy with the team.
