Microsoft Project Plans as Templates Overview
Note: Accolade's integration with Microsoft Project is an optional Accolade component that you may not have access to. To implement this solution, contact Sopheon Customer Support.
Using Accolade's integration with Microsoft Project, you can import an Accolade process model into a new Microsoft Project plan to create a project plan based on the stages, gates, deliverables, and activities within the model. The project plan can include additional tasks that may not be part of the completion of a deliverable or activity and not reflected in the process model, but that are important to track for a stage or project's completion.
Process Designers create the templates, upload them to the Template Library (with Template Access), and attach them to deliverables and activities within a process model. Document owners download Microsoft Project templates as a document template. The integration allows document owners to integrate task information between Microsoft Project and Accolade, enabling owners to manage some aspects of the project using Microsoft Project rather than making changes in Accolade.
