PerformancePoint Server documentation -organization explained
[UPDATE: New PerformancePoint Server documentation roadmap published on TechNet]
Microsoft Office product documentation is published on Office Online, Technet, or MSDN for the corresponding audiences; information worker (IW), IT Pro, and developer. PerformancePoint Server (PPS) is separated by the three audiences mentioned.
I write this post to clarify where PPS documentation is located in Office Online, MSDN, and TechNet.
Note: All of the information worker documentation for PPS products such as Planning Business Modeler and Dashboard Designer, will be published (outside the box) this fall. This part of Microsoft's commitment to move towards a "services model". When that happens, we will be able to cross-reference between our PPS IT Pro, Office Online, and MSDN documentation where it makes sense.
The content seems like a lot -and it doesn't even cover the stack of technologies such as SQL Server 2005 (Books Online-MSDN) and SharePoint (WSS or MOSS). But consider Alan Whitehouse's Blog recent post, Skill Sets Required to Successfully Implement PPS. Note that I would add project management to that list.
Additional help is provided in How do I... articles. Here are some examples that are located in MSDN.
