Microsoft Project is a tool that provides intuitive features for effi ciently managing
your projects. Project Server 2007 helps you to share the projects accessed by project team
members regardless of their locations. Project Server 2007 provides Web-based access known
as Project Web Access (PWA) that allows you to perform most of the tasks that can be performed
with client software such as Microsoft Project Professional.
Project Server functions on the SharePoint layer to offer these services. You can deploy
SharePoint Server 2007 and Project Server 2007 separately and integrate them, or install the
basic SharePoint Services that come with the Project Server software. This bundled installation
also includes Microsoft SQL Server Express, the database component required to store data.
Plus, you have the option of implementing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on a separate server,
which is recommended for an enterprise-level deployment.
