It’s my pleasure to announce today the release of Project Management Central (AKA PM Central) R3.5 for SharePoint 2010. In this release, you will find the new and improved Bamboo Microsoft Project Add-In which boasts added features to simplify the integration between PM Central and Microsoft Project.
