Project Risk
Identification with Project KickStart
Project KickStart from Experience
In Software, Inc. Project KickStart is the fastest, easiest way to plan
and schedule projects. It's unique in the world of project management
tools, focusing on both planning a project and building a Gantt
chart schedule. Project
KickStart's
8-step planning icons focus your attention on the project structure -- goals,
resources, obstacles and other strategic issues critical to your project's
success. Planning with Project KickStart practically ensures that your plan
will be well thought out, with nothing overlooked or forgotten.
"Knowledge Libraries" of Phases, Goals and Obstacles serve as both a
handy reference and a repository for company-specific information. You can
drag and drop typical phase names, goals or obstacles from the libraries to
your plan or add project terms to the libraries. Project KickStart becomes
richer the more you use it.
RiskyProject
can use project plan created in Project KickStart. Project KickStart can be
launched directly from RiskyProject. Integrated solution of Project KickStart
and RiskyProject allows you to perform quantitative risk analysis based on a well
defined project plan.
Project
KickStart
is integrated with both RiskyProject Professional and RiskyProject Lite.
