Microsoft Office Project Initiation Tool

Microsoft Office Project Initiation Tool is a handy solution from Microsoft InfoPath 2003 that makes it super easy to capture and rank your project ideas. You can log all these ideas in a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services list, which helps you compare and choose the best ones.

How It Works

Once you have your ideas logged, you can approve the ones you like right through the same InfoPath form. This process creates a Six Sigma project environment for you. What's cool is that it sets up a full Microsoft Project Server project along with a linked Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services site.

Customization Options

The form is totally customizable! This means it can be tailored to fit the unique needs of your organization when using the Microsoft Office Project Initiation Tool. The sample solution comes with selection criteria and metrics that help calculate how likely your project idea is to succeed. Plus, it shows you how to customize and use the tool effectively.

Compatibility

This tool is designed specifically to work with the Sample Solution for Six Sigma. But don't worry! With some tweaks to the Project Data Service (PDS) method, you can also use it with any version of Project Server 2003.

Why Use This Tool?

If you're looking for an efficient way to manage your project ideas and streamline your workflow, then the Microsoft Office Project Initiation Tool is definitely worth checking out. It's user-friendly and fits right into what most teams need for getting started on projects!
