Is Your Current Project Management Approach Holding Your Team Back?
Projects Tracked in Disconnected Spreadsheets
Project status lives in Excel files on individual desktops, shared drives, or email attachments. Each project manager has their own format. Finding current status across all projects requires hunting through multiple sources and sending "status update request" emails.
Project Documents Scattered Across Email and Drives
Critical project documents—scope documents, change requests, meeting notes, deliverables—are buried in email threads or saved to personal OneDrive folders. Team members waste hours searching for the latest version of key project files.
No Real-Time Visibility Into Project Health
Leadership can't quickly answer "Which projects are at risk?" or "What's our resource utilization?" without scheduling status meetings or waiting for manual report compilation. Problems surface too late to course-correct.
Microsoft Project Disconnected From Collaboration
Your project managers use Microsoft Project for scheduling, but the data doesn't flow into where your team actually works—SharePoint, Teams, or the intranet. Project schedules live in silos while collaboration happens elsewhere.
Manual Status Updates and Reporting
Project managers spend hours each week manually compiling status reports from multiple sources. By the time reports are assembled and distributed, the information is already outdated.
Can't Scale Current Project Processes
Your project tracking worked when you had a handful of projects. Now with more projects, more team members, and more complexity, the current approach is breaking down. You need systems that scale without adding administrative overhead.

Frequently Asked Questions About SharePoint Project Management
SharePoint project management integrates with your existing Microsoft 365 environment—Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, Power Platform—rather than adding another disconnected platform. This means higher adoption (team members don't need to learn new tools), better integration (project data flows to where people work), and lower cost (no additional per-user licensing). Standalone PM tools work well but create another silo. SharePoint project management works within the ecosystem you already own.
Absolutely. We integrate SharePoint with Microsoft Project Online and Project for the Web to give you the best of both worlds. Project managers who need Gantt charts, resource loading, critical path analysis, and complex dependency tracking use Microsoft Project for scheduling. That data syncs to SharePoint where stakeholders view timelines, milestones, and status without needing Project licenses. Team collaboration happens in SharePoint and Teams while detailed scheduling happens in Project.
We design flexible solutions that match tool complexity to project complexity. Simple projects (team tasks, basic tracking) might use SharePoint task lists or Microsoft Planner. Complex projects (resource-loaded schedules, critical path, earned value) use Microsoft Project with SharePoint integration. Each project type gets its own template with appropriate capabilities—you don't force simple projects into complex tools or limit complex projects to simple task lists.
Power Platform dramatically extends SharePoint project management capabilities. Power Automate handles workflow automation—project intake forms that route for approval, automated status update reminders, milestone completion notifications, escalations for overdue tasks. Power Apps creates custom project applications—mobile project dashboards, resource request forms, time tracking apps. Power BI builds executive dashboards with real-time portfolio visibility. These capabilities would cost tens of thousands as add-ons to standalone PM software.
Yes. We build Power BI dashboards that give executives real-time visibility into the entire project portfolio. Typical dashboard elements include project health scorecards (red/yellow/green status), budget vs. actual tracking, resource utilization and capacity, milestone timeline tracking, risk and issue heat maps, and trend analysis. Dashboards update automatically as project data changes—no manual report compilation required.
Each project site includes structured document libraries for scope documents, plans, correspondence, deliverables, meeting notes, and other project files. We configure metadata for easy filtering, version control for document history, and permissions so the right people access the right documents. Project documents live with project information rather than scattered across email and personal drives.
Cost depends on complexity: number of project types, workflow automation requirements, Microsoft Project integration needs, and dashboard sophistication. Because SharePoint project management uses your existing Microsoft 365 licensing, there are no per-user software costs—only implementation services. This typically delivers 50-70% cost savings compared to standalone PM platforms. After our free assessment, we provide transparent project estimates.
Basic implementations (project sites, task tracking, simple workflows) complete in 4-6 weeks. Full implementations with Microsoft Project integration, portfolio dashboards, and extensive automation typically take 8-12 weeks. We can also implement in phases—starting with core project sites and adding dashboards, integrations, and advanced capabilities over time.
Yes. We can migrate project data from spreadsheets, SharePoint lists, or other PM tools into your new SharePoint project management system. Migration includes project metadata, task lists, documents, and historical information. We validate migration accuracy and ensure historical projects remain accessible and searchable.
Why Growing Businesses Choose Abel Solutions for SharePoint Project Management
One Platform, Not Another Tool
Unlike standalone PM software that adds another system to manage, SharePoint project management lives where your team already works—integrated with Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, and Power Platform. Higher adoption because there's no new platform to learn.
Microsoft Project Integration Expertise
We connect SharePoint with Microsoft Project Online and Project for the Web so project managers keep their scheduling power while stakeholders get visibility in SharePoint and Teams. The best of both worlds without data silos.
Power Platform Automation
We use Power Automate, Power Apps, and Power BI to automate project workflows, create custom project applications, and build executive dashboards—capabilities standalone PM tools can't match without expensive add-ons.
Right-Sized for Growing Businesses
Enterprise PM tools like Planview, Clarizen, or Smartsheet Enterprise cost $30-100+ per user per month with complex implementations. We deliver comparable capabilities within your existing Microsoft 365 licensing at a fraction of the cost.
Scales From Simple to Sophisticated
Start with basic project sites and task tracking, then add portfolio dashboards, MS Project integration, and automated workflows as your PM maturity grows—without platform migrations or rip-and-replace projects.
