Project Methodologies Multi-User / Server Edition

Can you give me a few technical details on the MPMM Project Methodologies multi-user / server edition?

Q: Which database technology is used - available?
A: The database we use is the Microsoft Jet Engine, which is compatible with all Windows platforms.

Q: What are the server requirements? Dependencies on existing software such as MS SQL, Oracle?
A: There are none. The database is just treated as a file. As part of the install process, you simply save the Database File to a shared folder and the clients can access it.

Q: What type of communication will take place between client and server? Direct database connections, XML?
A: Yes there is a direct connection between the client and the server, so there shouldn’t be any firewalls in between.

Q: Any idea on bandwidth requirements for clients to access the database?
A: Minimal. We have lots of customers in South Africa for instance, where bandwidth is usually fairly poor.

Q: Which technologies were used for the development of the MPMM Project Methodologies client application? Languages, applets?
A: We built the application using Microsoft .net

Q: The question about an ‘online project management version’ was a little ambiguous, apologies. My question was more about the availability of a cloud computing solution, a hosted solution or a web version being available?
A: Currently there is no web version available, but it is something we're considering for the future.

Please let me know if you have any further questions. We would gladly help.

Once the analysis has been completed in every process, the process of eliminating waste can begin on the process as a whole. Each part of the process has to contribute to the end product. The cutting of waste from each and every step in the production of a deliverable is the core essence of the lean methodology approach. This can be in the material that is added or the number of workers necessary to complete the task. The overall reductio...

Communications Register

Under what situations should I create a Communications Register for my project ? For small, medium and large projects you should always implement a Communications Register. This register will identify all of the communications events that have taken place for the project and also the communications events that are due to take place in the future. The reason for listing the communications events that are due to take place is that it provides a single place where the project manager can use and control communications to stake holders. For example the register will enable the project manager to view the status of all of the communications to date and determine whether or not the stake holders to the project are being kept in the loop and informed.
