I have heard there is a Prince2 plug-in for Microsoft Project. Can you tell me what the product is and please inform me of its benefits or problems?

PRINCE2 was released in 1996 as a generic project management method I am not aware that microsoft project offer any addins that will act as a prince 2 plug-in, where did you hear of this?

Hi David,

I was told about it on the Prince2 course that I completed in February. After doing a Google search I found the following website: www.p2msp.com I wondered if you knew of any problems with this software, but obviously it is not widely recognised!

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks

Alex

Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
