One important point is to get a tool and be comfortable with it. If you wait too long to get the proper tools in place, you'll be hamstrung when the business finally takes off. My advice is to get your due diligence done and move on once you've picked a tool. I've seen the flipside of this argument. I worked at a huge multimillion dollar company who didn't have any PM software in place. It was so bad because the project managers were running the asylum. Some had super tight deadlines and needed by 5pm TODAY. Others didn't really care about the tasks, or would forget about them and then throw the developers under the bus. It was insane what was going on, and it was mainly due to not having some kind of software in place that keep track of the tasks and deadlines. The company wasn't going to go out of business anytime soon, but with all the business they had and more coming every month, how do you expect to have a quality product when your project management is a joke?
