Microsoft SharePoint project management tools enable team members to collaborate with each other no matter where they are located. By publishing the project plans to Microsoft SharePoint, these tools enable team members to get updates on their tasks or upcoming assignments. Senior managers can also use these tools to get an overall picture of the project.

What are workflows?

Workflow is sometimes described as a series of tasks that produce an outcome. In the context of Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies, workflow is defined more narrowly as the automated movement of documents or items through a sequence of actions or tasks that are related to a business process. Workflows can be used to consistently manage common business processes within an organization by enabling the organization to attach business logic to documents or items in a SharePoint list or library. Business logic is basically a set of instructions that specifies and controls the actions that happen to a document or item.
