Publishing a Plan to Project Server

To make a project plan viewable by other stakeholders (such as resources with assignments in the project plan), the project manager must publish the project plan to Project Server. After initially publishing a project plan to Project Server, the project manager should republish updated information to keep fresh the data that stakeholders and others will see. In the following example, a project manager publishes a project plan to Project Server.

Steve Masters, a project manager at A.Datum Corporation, has previously saved his new project plan while he continued to fine-tune it. The new plan, Active Directory Northwest, is based on the A.Datum Active Directory enterprise template. Now, Steve is ready to publish the project plan to Project Server.

1. In Project Professional, Steve clicks Publish on the File menu.

After Steve clicks Publish, Project publishes the plan to Project Server. The resources assigned to tasks in this project will now see their assignments. Likewise, executives at A.Datum Corporation will be able to view this project plan.
