The best practice solution for project & portfolio management

The Best Practice Solution for Project & Portfolio Management "Out of the Box" Based on Microsoft 365 Standards

Since October 2019, Microsoft has been offering Project for the Web ("Project Plan 1" license), a modern and easy-to-use solution for planning and reporting simple projects. For use in a professional environment, however, some important functions are missing, starting with a functional intake process, a holistic view of a portfolio including project structure and the management of project artifacts (e.g. issues, risks, documents, etc.).

TPG now offers these essential functions as a "TPG ProjectPowerPack" package. This "out of the box" solution is fully operational in a short time.
