Organizing People and Work with Microsoft SharePoint 2010

Scheduling Events with the Calendar List

A SharePoint 2010 calendar list provides a convenient way for everyone on a project team to keep track of important milestones, project meetings, and other events.

Calendar lists can even be connected to Outlook and viewed side by side or overlaid with other calendars.
