This document discusses using Project Server 2013 and SharePoint to manage a project lifecycle. It describes a common problem where SharePoint is installed to address one need but then multiple apps are developed, overtaxing IT resources. Project Server 2013 provides portfolio management, scheduling, resource management, and other tools built on SharePoint 2013. It recommends capturing all project requests centrally, estimating resources, evaluating projects against strategic goals, selecting aligned projects, executing with controls, and closing projects to successfully manage the lifecycle.
