Tara understands
the project managers need to integrate data from other applications, including
project management systems, and vice versa. Use Tara to exchange data with other project management systems such as Microsoft
Project.
Microsoft
Project is project management software that is designed to help you with planning,
assigning resources, and tracking progress. Tara supports the XML file format from Microsoft Project, version 2007,
for importing and exporting projects.
You might consider importing a project from Microsoft Project to Tara when the following situations occur:
- The project or WBS elements that are associated with the project schedules
and resource assignments are created in Microsoft Project.
- The project is planned in Microsoft Project, but the project execution
and project control will be done using Tara.
- The project is defined in Microsoft Project to fulfill the requirements
of a customer contract or a government regulation.
You might consider exporting a project from Tara when you want to use a project or WBS elements that are associated
with the project schedules and resource assignments in Microsoft Project.
