Some popular formats include:
— MS Office / PDF / Google Docs documents, excel?
— a site or a set of web pages

- What systems are used in the company for project management?
- PlanFix / Jira / Youtrack / Redmine / MS Project / Custom programs?
- Do users of these Project Management systems want to switch to another system? (For example, using the inbuilt Salesforce management features?)
— if yes, you need to collect the requirements and configure Salesforce - what features do the systems which they already use have? implement the same in Salesforce.
— if not, you need to plan an integration between Salesforce and the project management system.
The most common integration style with Project Management Systems is
- Project managers create tasks in Salesforce,
- Task progress is tracked using the Specialized Project Management systems
- Get a report on the status of tasks and projects in Salesforce.
- What important company projects are typical and often repeated? For example:
— start of production of a new facility
— opening a new outlet
— launching a large marketing campaign
— corporate events: contests, holidays, conferences, meetings with dealers, distributors, etc
For planning, tracking, and carrying out analytics of typical projects in Salesforce RIBERATEC has developed a special ready-made solution that can be integrated with MS Project.
