Project Server
WBS Schedule Pro works with plans Published in Project Server 2002, 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2016 by going through Microsoft Project. It is similar to the way you create and manage Project Server Published plans using Microsoft Project.

WBS Schedule Pro can be installed into Microsoft Project so you can create charts of your Published plans from Project Server. Create charts from Published plans by opening these plans in Microsoft Project and clicking the buttons. This will create a WBS/Network/Task Sheet of a Published plan that is dynamically linked to this plan. Any changes you make to the project is instantly reflected in Microsoft Project and updated in Project Server the next time you publish your plan.
