Overview

The Project Initiation Widget (PIW) automates the creation of one or more projects in an organization’s Microsoft Project Server or Project Online system in a consistent, user-friendly, and scalable manner.  The PIW leverages existing project templates and metadata for the creation of new projects. The types and quantities of activities included in a project is determined by how a user responds to prompts on the widget.
