Do I need a project management system?

Probably not. The Annex 1 is already your project plan. Much of the information needed is available in the Participant Portal. For the rest, you will do fine with Excel spreadsheets and mail. What you may need is a safe place to store project files. SEE XXX

Several projects have tried project management systems and project planners. In most cases the conclusion seems to be:

It takes too much time and effort to put the project into a system
The project does not really fit into the system
The project mgm system does not communicate with your accounting system or the EC systems leaving it alone and separate from updated data
It is hard to get the partners to use and accept an additional system. They will probably continue to send you mails and files.
