Overview of improvements to Project 2010:
- Simple and Intuitive User Experience - This means Fluent User Interface (aka the Ribbon) is now used thoughout the entire Office suite, including SharePoint 2010. Also, Project Server no longer uses AJAX instead of ActiveX controls.
- Enhanced Collaboration and Reporting - Syncronizing with SharePoint tasks lists is now seamless and two-way. Dashboards and drilldown views are available out of the box.
- Unified Project and Portfolio Management - PerformancePoint and Project Portfolio Server have been tightly integrated.
- Scalable and Connected Platform - The collaboration options now available allow project management to scale from a single project manager all the way to the largest enterprises.
