This article provides an overview of the Microsoft Office Project 2007 Add-in for Outlook.

Overview

Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 re-introduces a feature that enables team members to track progress for assignments within Outlook Calendar and reminders. The feature provides an alternative for users who work primarily in Outlook instead of Project Web Access to enter and update their hours back to the Project Manager.

In Office Project Server 2007, assignment progress continues to be reported based on the selected tracking method. The add-in for Outlook has been enhanced with the following features:

  • A choice to integrate with Outlook Tasks or Calendars.

  • The option to add information about timesheet utilization for assignments by using the following fields: Billable, Non-Billable, Overtime, and Overtime Non-Billable.

In addition to the My Tasks and My Timesheets pages, the Outlook integration add-in presents another method for team members to report progress and record utilization for their assignments. Users can simplify their time tracking by importing assignments from Project Server and entering hours from Outlook.
