[Year 12 IT Apps] Project Management Software

[Margaret Lawson]

In the past I have given kids a grid that I generally make in Excel and 
they do it by hand. Low tech, but it means that the kids get to 
understand the concept of putting together a gantt chart. I tend not to 
spend much time teaching PM software. However, the kids are aware of the 
software packages and what they do.
