Configuring Resources to Support Team Projects
After you create a team project collection, you can add or change resources for it and the projects that it supports. For example, you can add a SharePoint Web application to a collection after you create it. When you add a resource to a collection, all projects that are subsequently created in that collection will have access to that resource. However, you can also add a resource to a project that was created before that resource was added.
You can add or configure the following resources to support team projects:
A SharePoint Web application and site collection to host team project portals for projects in the collection
A SharePoint site or Web site to act as the portal for a team project
A server that is running SQL Server Reporting Services to provide default reports and dashboards that show the progress of a team project
Upgraded reports and dashboards when you upgrade your deployment to use Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
Guidance for team project members about the processes to follow when working in the team project
Automated e-mails that inform project members of changes in the team project
