BrightWork pmPoint is a SharePoint 2007 add-on for managing work and projects. Coming with a set of pre-built project management templates, web parts, dashboards, tools and lists, BrightWork pmPoint is for organizations that want to extend SharePoint to manage work and projects.

Project manager initiates each project with the right amount of process

This custom pmPoint list includes a multi-level hierarchical (e.g., phases, milestones, project tasks etc.) work breakdown structure that allows values (% Complete, Start Date, End Dates, Late flag, Planned and Actual Durations, Costs etc) to be propagated, aggregated and auto-calculated up the hierarchy as the project progresses.
