Report on Resource and Project Manager Compliance using PSSI's Project Server Compliance Reporting Tool (PCRT)
The Project Server Compliance Reporting Tool (PCRT) is a
simple, yet powerful tool that generates reports to display
resource and project manager compliance information.
There are no reports or features in Project Server that
let you know if people are updating activities or processing
updates from team members. Without this information you are
mostly left in the dark regarding what users are really
doing with the system during each of your reporting time periods.
If resources have not submitted all time
then your project status is incomplete. If project managers
have not accepted status updates from resources then your
project status is incomplete. With PCRT you now have the
information available to take action to ensure all
stakeholders are viewing accurate project metrics for the
respective reporting period. Accurate and timely compliance
with update requirements facilitates accurate project
management reporting and allows you to better manage user
performance.

PCRT
Version 2.0 is a Visual Basic .net application. It is a
Windows application installed on a PC. PCRT communicates
with the Project Server Database through a database user
assigned read-only access to the Project Server database.
The hardware requirements are 6MB of disk space (for the
application) and 256MB of RAM (recommended minimum).
Please
note: PCRT only selects data from the Project Server
database. There are no functions to insert, delete, or
update data. PCRT only communicates with a SQL Server 2000
Project Server database; and no other application. PCRT does
not transmit any data via the internet; it is designed only
to communicate with a Project Server database.
