NITS uses Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 as its primary project
tracking tool. Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 lets organizations
effectively manage and coordinate work—from one-time projects to complex
programs across the entire project life cycle.
The Microsoft TechNet Support Website contains a white paper and a four-part
video series which provide a walkthrough of a typical Microsoft Office Project
Server 2007 deployment.
The white paper contains step-by-step instructions for each step necessary to
successfully deploy Office Project Server 2007. While the scenario described in
the white paper may differ from the deployment scenario that you plan to use for
your organization, you can gain significant hands-on experience by following the
steps described herein in a test environment.
The video series mirrors the steps described in the white paper. The video
series is divided into four parts, as follows:
Part I describes the necessary prerequisites that must be configured
prior to installing Office Project Server 2007, including:

computers in the farm

Server 2007 will be installed
