Project managers have enough challenges without facing poor communication among stakeholders, careless document management practices, and undefined project collaboration standards. This four-part course shows you how to build a complete project management platform with SharePoint 2010, so you can address those issues right away—and focus on the real needs of your project.

Project management professional Dux Raymond Sy walks you through practical steps for using SharePoint and other tools to create your project management system.
