This white paper describes how as organizations mature, they can be more effective in using their project management systems. It describes how it might be more effective for organizations to use only certain aspects of a new project management system to a level with which they are comfortable, even though they are tempted to use every feature that is available to them. As the organization continues to mature, it can become more advanced in its use of the features that it has to use. This white paper was written by Chris Vandersluis of HMS Software, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner.
