We found Microsoft’s recent publication, Modern Project Management for Manufacturing, to be an excellent read explaining how project management within the field of manufacturing can be streamlined with one connected platform. In this eBook, Microsoft addresses three pillars for success:
- Collaboration made easy
- Improved visibility and governance
- Access to powerful insights
This is accomplished by an integration of multiple Microsoft products into one power platform. Schedules can be viewed in various formats and shared from within Teams. Data from Project is connected to various Power applications and integrated with Power BI.
