One option for project managers that want to use project management software while keeping costs down should consider Microsoft Project 2010 Professional AE. The AE refers to academic software. Academic license software has the same functionality of non-academic versions. This is a good software option for small businesses or home-based business owners. Although there are newer versions of Project available, Project 2010 remains a popular program. This software lets product managers and team members create projects from a SharePoint task list. Users can convert SharePoint Foundation 2010 task lists into a Project schedule. Synchronization of project schedules that use SharePoint is also possible as task updates from team members can be received and automatically synched to the project schedule. Many of the features seen on newer versions were introduced in Project 2010 including the use of the Ribbon tab interface that is prominent in Word, Excel and other Microsoft programs today. The ability to access tools, templates and program options via Backstage is also featured in the Professional edition.
