How to Create a Project Plan in OpenOffice
A project plan can help keep you focused on accomplishing each task in a project within budget and on time. If you use the OpenOffice productivity software, you don't have to buy a dedicated project planning application. Project plan templates are available for download free of charge from the OpenOffice website. They are easily modifiable to fit the needs of your project, and open directly in the applicable OpenOffice program.
