If you just start with a new product or you are a small business owner, you are not able to create effective 1-year marketing plan. The better thing for you is to use opportunities that you find on the day-to-day basis. By the way, even expert managers prefer to apply scrum in marketing. Comparing to long-term plans with that you have to be consistent regardless of changing market conditions, agile approach allows you to do what is really relevant to your business. What do you think about this approach? As for better approaches to marketing management I not as sure, as about the PM tool that I use. I really like Wrike (http://www.wrike.com). It's much more convenient than MS Project and gives much better visibility than other web tools. Nick, I think it’s not only about culture, but about experience as well.

To me, you need both to really take advantage of all its software tools.

I get justifications like the above all of the time. As a project manager, I've learned to ask for more detail. More often than not, the requester never responds. Presumably they realize the project has no value or they're off looking for another PM to do the work :-) “And by the way, don’t try to cop out with crappy answers like audience = customers.”
