Why First-Class Training Can Lead To First-Class Project Management

Not using the best available tools for a job is never a particularly good idea. Sure, you may still complete the task successfully, but it might have been much more difficult than necessary, or more time-consuming, more costly, or perhaps have given a less effective result. If you need to remove a screw, use the right kind of screwdriver. If you need to hire a van to carry anything around, hire the right size of van. If you're entering into a complex and important project, make use of project management software - it'll help keep your schedules and budgets within their limits, highlight potential problems, give you more control over the allocation of resources, and offer you a clearer vision of the whole project from start to finish.
