Once you have started the Project Server and PerformancePoint services on the desired computers in the farm, you must create a service application for each service.
To create a Project Server service application
On the Central Administration home page, in the Application Management section, click Manage service applications.
On the Manage Service Applications page, on the ribbon, click New, and then click Project Server Service Application.
On the Create Project Web App service application page:

The next step is to create a top-level Web site if one does not yet exist, and give users read permission to that site. If there is not yet a top level Web site, create one using the following procedure.
To create a top-level Web site
In Central Administration, in the Application Management section, click Create site collections.
Choose a Web application from the Web Application drop-down menu.
Note:
If no Web application is available, you will need to create one. For more information, see Create a Web application (SharePoint Server 2010).
Type a title for the site collection in the Title box.
In the Template Selection section, choose a template for the site.
Note:
Project Server 2010 does not require a specific template. You can choose one appropriate for your organization.
In the Primary Site Collection Administrator section, type the name of the account you want to use for the site administrator.
Click OK.
To set Read permissions on the top-level Web site
Navigate to the root site (that is, Error! Hyperlink reference not valid.>).
Click Site Actions.
Click Site Permissions.
Click Grant Permissions.
In the Users/Groups box, type NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users.
Under Give Permission, select
Visitors [Read].
Click OK.
The next step is to create a Project Web App site. Go to the next article, Create a PWA site (Project Server 2010).
Create a PWA site
The Project Web App site requires a Web application to host it. You can use an existing Web application or create a new one for PWA. For more information about creating a Web application, see Create a Web application (SharePoint Server 2010).
Important:
Due to a Project Server Beta issue, you must run the psconfig command before creating the first PWA site. Use the following procedure to run the psconfig command. You do not need to rerun this command for additional PWA sites on the same farm.
To run psconfig
Open a Command Prompt window as an Administrator.
Navigate to \program files\common files\Microsoft shared\Web server extensions\14\bin.
Run the following command:
psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b

Administrator Account - The user account that will be added to the Project Server Administrators security group in this instance of PWA.
Primary database server - The instance of SQL Server where you want to host the Project Server databases. If your database administrator has already created Project Web App databases, specify the names of those databases below.
