Placed in the middle of the complexity spectrum, this template provides a semi-structured process that is useful for a range of business departments to run their projects including sales, marketing, engineering, finance, etc.
Project Structured
This starter template is for managing projects that are in the high end of the complexity spectrum.
New Product Introduction
