Microsoft Office Project Initiation Tool

The Microsoft Office Project Initiation Tool is a handy sample solution using InfoPath 2003. It makes it super easy to gather and rank project ideas. You can log these ideas into a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services list, which helps you compare and pick the best ones.

Streamlined Idea Approval Process

Once you've picked your favorite ideas, you can give them a thumbs up right from the same InfoPath form! This approval process sets up a Six Sigma project environment for you. It includes everything you need like a full Microsoft Project Server project and a related site on Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services.

Customization for Your Needs

This tool is really flexible. The form can be fully customized to fit what your organization needs when using the Microsoft Office Project Initiation Tool. It comes with selection criteria and metrics to help calculate how successful your project idea could be. Plus, it shows you how to tweak and use the tool effectively.

Compatibility with Six Sigma

The Microsoft Office Project Initiation Tool works great alongside the Sample solution for Six Sigma projects. But here's some good news: with a little customization of the Project Data Service (PDS) method, you can also use this tool with any version of Project Server 2003!

Benefits of Using This Tool

If you're looking to streamline your project initiation process or want an easier way to manage ideas, this tool is definitely worth checking out! It simplifies everything from idea capturing to ranking, making it easier for teams to make informed decisions about which projects to pursue.
