[Year 12 IT Apps] Project Management Software

Mon Feb 11 15:04:40 EST 2008

You're right, Janet.

The assessment handbook stipulates (p.16) that task 2 requires "A 
project management report that includes the management plan and a record 
of progress, CREATED USING SOFTWARE TOOLS" (my caps)

Any relevant software would suffice; anything but pen and paper.

Cheers
Mark

So would pen and paper constitute this?  I think they want us to use software such as Excel rather than grids that are to be filled in manually.
