Microsoft Project as a Risk Management Tool

The software discussed here is Microsoft® Project 2010 Professional (MPP) along with several ‘add-in’ risk management products. This review focuses on applied risk management theory (it is assumed the reader will look at trade magazines for detailed features and technology requirements). Different versions of MPP (and companion products) are available on the market. MPP is a popular project management software tool; the 2010 version is the best upgrade in more than a decade (Essex, 2010). MPP is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit options. The 64-bit version was used for testing the product in this review.
