Q2: There are several software available for use with Project Management. We discussed several of them in class. In order to compare the simplicity and ease of use of these software, select two software such as Microsoft Project, Base Camp, AtTask, Wrike, Mavelink or anything else that you can get as a trial version and develop a simple Project Planning chart with that software. Then give a write-up of your experience with the two selected software as to simplicity and ease of use.

Q3: Risk assessment is a major part of Project Management. All Health hospital plans to develop a paperless system over a one year period. For this project you should do a risk analysis on data storage about patients, sharing of patient data with other healthcare providers, and making data available to patients for review online. Keep in mind the HIPAA requirements for data security. In your risk analysis estimate the cost associated with mitigating the identified risks.
