Project Management
Tom Demarco & Timothy Lister advise "If There's No Risk On Your Next Project, Don't Do It" in Waltzing with Bears. The book covers how to identify and embrace worthwhile risks in software development. Demarco and Lister overplay the utility of probability analysis. There are significant limitations using probability in risk analysis. This limits the applicability of the strategies provided for common risks, such as schedule flaws, requirements inflation, and specification breakdown.
Open WorkBench
OpenWorkbench 1.1 is a fully functioning desktop project scheduler with basic project-management functions and resource management. The user interface more closely adheres to Windows-standard. With the collapsible work breakdown structure (WBS) you can view tasks at varying levels. Open Workbench supports multiple multiple baselines at the summary task and project levels. Cost data can be changed, without manually changing the baselines.

Open Workbench
Open WorkBench is an "open source" alternative to Microsoft Project. Open Workbench has a less accessible interface than Microsoft Project 2007. In our assessment the less accessible interface is overcome by Open Workbench's sophisticated leveling algorithm that is resource-focused not task-focused.
When we last looked there were at least three restrictions on Open WorkBench's 'openness' - two proprietary Window's-specific libraries that have low/no cost licensing and Open WorkBench's leveling algorithms. Based upon indications on the project's problematic website the latter is unlikely ever to be released.
We have a manual for Open WorkBench in the Project Management Library.
