Project management with WorkPoint

WorkPoint Project Management is a standard project management solution on top of SharePoint within Microsoft 365. It is designed for organizations that work on projects and need more structure and control than standard SharePoint provides. Using established project templates, metadata and processes creates one consistent way of working for all projects, regardless of team or project type.

The solution supports the entire project lifecycle: from initiation and planning to execution and completion. Documents, tasks, emails and risks are automatically captured in the right context. As a result, project managers maintain an overview, teams work together more efficiently, and governance and compliance are demonstrably secured within their own Microsoft 365 tenant.

How Hoek and Blok got a grip on document management in SharePoint

"In practice, we were running into the limits of our document management. AFAS is the source system for us and we wanted to keep it that way, but for document management it fell short. What started as a basis for structured document management grew into a widely supported digital working environment with smart integrations, clear processes, secure data flows and a uniform way of working together. And when a customer or client file is created in AFAS, the corresponding structure is automatically set up in SharePoint, including all relevant customer and file information."

Frequently Asked Questions

About SharePoint Project management with WorkPoint

Is WorkPoint Project Management a separate system from SharePoint?

No. WorkPoint Project Management works entirely on top of SharePoint within Microsoft 365. No separate system or external environment is added. Project teams work in the same SharePoint, Teams, Outlook and Office environment they already know, while WorkPoint provides fixed project structures, metadata, processes and governance. This prevents fragmentation and makes adoption easier.

Why do organizations choose WorkPoint over standard SharePoint?

SharePoint is flexible, but in project environments this freedom often leads to different structures, unclear agreements and limited overview. WorkPoint brings structure to this by enforcing fixed project templates, phases and metadata. As a result, all project teams work in the same way and project information remains manageable, even when the number of projects grows.

Is WorkPoint Project Management customized or a standard solution?

WorkPoint Project Management is a standard solution with extensive configuration options. The solution can be set up based on your project types, phases and ways of working, without custom development. Custom development is possible, but requires a more extensive inventory and involves additional management and complexity. In practice, this is usually not necessary.

Does all project data stay in our own Microsoft 365 tenant?

Yes. All project documents, metadata, tasks and communications remain completely stored in your own Microsoft 365 tenant. WorkPoint uses no external storage and stores no data outside your environment. This makes it easier to meet security, compliance and audit requirements.

Does WorkPoint support different project methodologies?

Yes. WorkPoint Project Management can be set up for different project methodologies, such as Prince2, Agile or your own. Project templates, phases and workflows are tailored to how your projects are organized, without leading to different ways of working for each team.

What does this mean for end users and adoption?

For end users, little changes in tooling. They continue to work in SharePoint, Teams, Outlook and Office. The structure and guidance that WorkPoint adds actually helps them work faster and more consistently. As a result, the learning curve is limited and adoption in practice is smooth.

Can we start small and expand later?

Yes. Many organizations start with a basic setup for project documentation and progress. From that base, the solution can be incrementally expanded with additional functionality, such as risk management, reporting or additional workflows, without having to start from scratch.

How quickly can project teams get up and running with WorkPoint?

Because WorkPoint works with standard configurations, implementation time is relatively short. Depending on the scope and setup, project teams can often work with the new project structure within a few weeks.
