Ideas and information are much more valuable if they are structured and brought into dependencies. But if you are able to visualize your knowledge and easily transfer it to the project management, you achieve the first important milestone of project management.

Connect the world of business mapping with the world of project management bi-directionally in an easy way – we will tell you how! With the “ProjectLINKER for NovaMind 5” you can plan your projects with both, NovaMind 5 and the latest Microsoft® Office Project product series based on task level !

With the functions offered by ProjectLINKER for NovaMind 5 and the intuitive, visual interface from NovaMind 5 you can develop and plan your project tasks, project phases, task dependencies and resources, directly from the enterprise-resource pool of the Microsoft® EPM-Solution, without specific project knowhow.

Further detailed planning like project structure planning, milestone definition, resource planning in detail and progress monitoring can be accomplished in Microsoft® Office Project or in the Microsoft® EPM-Solution.

With the help of ProjectLINKER for NovaMind 5, you can save this information as a project in the Microsoft® Office Project Server. During the saving process, the project is generated automatically, the resources are allocated, and the project can be edited immediately. 

If you do not use Microsoft® Office Project Server at the moment, you can of course save this project as a
Microsoft® Office Project Standard or Microsoft® Office Project Professional file. If your enterprise decides to employ Microsoft® Office Project Server at a later date, you are able to import project files into it at any time.

Afterwards, ProjectLINKER for NovaMind 5 enables a refresh of the project bi-directionally in the map on a task level. By that, you are able to stay up-to-date on the latest progress of the project. Additionally, with ProjectLINKER for NovaMind 5 older projects can be imported into NovaMind 5 as they are dynamically connected. Evaluation and reporting of the current project status becomes faster and easier in a visual, intuitive format to executives and client stakeholders.
