Prince2 support software

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?

For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability

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
