This latest white paper describes operational best practices for enterprise systems generally (including Microsoft Office Project Server 2007). It notes how, although enterprise systems strive to provide an easy-to-use interface at the user level, the technology and infrastructure required to provide it is often very complex. This white paper then describes how this complexity requires you to use some basic best practices that give you the best chance of maintaining a high degree of reliability in your enterprise system.  This white paper was written by Chris Vandersluis of HMS Software, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner.
