You can add SharePoint Calendars to Microsoft Outlook. You can then view them like any other Outlook Calendar. Outlook can be set to launch at startup. SharePoint team sites often include a shared calendar, used by a team to coordinate and schedule team-related events.When an employee is a member in 2-3 such team sites, he then needs to check 2-3 calendar pages in order to keep up with the current events for all teams he belongs to.

It can be used to to create and attach a project calendar to your team's Web site. By using Windows SharePoint Services, you can create an overview of a project that your entire team can use to increase their efficiency and communication. Team members can contribute tasks, adjust dates and times, attach documents, and even export project details to Microsoft Office Excel.To create a sharepoint calendar, while in the site where you want to create your calendar, select the Create option from the Site Actions dropdown menu. Then, on the resulting Create page, select the Calendar hyperlink under the Tracking heading.After clicking that Calendar hyperlink, you may be surprised to discover that there isn't anything calendar-centric on the resulting New page.
