SharePoint for Project Management

Yes. SharePoint Maven has worked with PMOs in various industries – IT, engineering, professional services, and operations-focused organizations. The work spans project site templates, PMO knowledge bases, portfolio-level rollups, and admin training for PMO directors and IT contacts.

Active project workflows (task tracking, scheduling, resource assignment) typically belong in dedicated project management tools. SharePoint complements those tools by handling the document side — charters, plans, status reports, deliverables, change requests, and lessons learned. SharePoint Maven helps you draw that boundary clearly during scoping.

No – portfolio-level visibility across many projects is beyond what SharePoint is designed to do. For genuine portfolio management, Microsoft Planner Premium is the better-suited tool: it’s purpose-built for cross-project roadmaps, dependencies, timelines, and executive reporting that SharePoint can’t deliver on its own. SharePoint is great for individual project sites; portfolio management is Planner Premium’s job.

Project sites can be archived as read-only when projects close, preserving the artifacts indefinitely without cluttering active project views. Lessons learned, final deliverables, and project history remain searchable across the PMO – future projects draw from prior work instead of starting fresh.

Yes. A dedicated lessons-learned library with metadata (project type, phase where issue occurred, root cause category) makes prior lessons searchable across the PMO. New project kickoffs can pull relevant prior lessons by category – turning lessons learned from a closing exercise into an opening one.

SharePoint Maven uses the same fixed-fee pricing across every industry. Hourly consulting is $350/hour with no minimum. SharePoint intranets are $4,800-$6,400, fixed-fee. Document management projects are $2,400-$4,200, fixed-fee. Live training is $950 per 2-hour session with unlimited attendees. Pricing is flat and published – no proposal negotiation cycle.

Intranet projects typically run 5–8 weeks from kickoff to delivered training. Document management projects run 3–4 weeks. Hourly consulting can start within one week of purchase. Timelines are agreed up front and don’t slip – fixed-fee means no mid-project change orders or scope additions.

Greg Zelfond does every engagement personally. There are no subcontractors, junior consultants, or offshore teams. You work directly with Greg from the first call through delivery and training. Because of that, SharePoint Maven runs roughly one engagement at a time – reach out a few weeks before your preferred start window to confirm availability.

Yes – that’s a primary design goal. Every project is built using out-of-the-box SharePoint features, with no custom code and no third-party tools, so your IT staff or site administrator can manage and extend the environment using the same admin tools that Microsoft documents publicly. Every project includes both admin training and site owner training.

Yes. Live training sessions ($950 per 2-hour session, unlimited attendees) can be booked as part of a rollout to train staff or administrators. On-demand SharePoint Maven Academy courses ($60 each, with volume licensing for teams) work well for ongoing onboarding as new people join. Both options are taught by Greg personally.
