One of the best features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 is its ability to fulfill functions that were not designed out of the box, a concept known in the CRM community as “xRM”. One such potential function is project management. Maintaining some project-level information in CRM can be incredibly valuable, especially if you are already using CRM for service management with Cases. For any organization that engages in professional services delivery, keeping ongoing projects in CRM next to current customer service issues provides a better view of a given customer. Organizations that don’t perform projects for their customers can also benefit, as CRM could be used to track internal projects as well.
