What do you use for tracking all of your active projects? I know there is software; but I was just about to order a big 'ol whiteboard, and then decided to ask here first.
Sometimes lo tech is the best tech.
That said, I think you need different tools for different type of projects.
For example, do you have hundreds of bugs and requests you need to keep track of or do you have complex time critical projects with lot of external vendors that needs to be planned?
If you know what kind of projects you want to track it's easier to know what software can get the job done. Trying to shoehorn your projects into the wrong tool is just a waste of time.
I want to keep track of sales deliveries, and installs; mostly.
For example, I want to have a nice way to track the progress of replacing a domain controller.
Power up; Windows Updates; AD Setup; DNS Setup; DHCP setup and shutdown, Group Policy, Printers, User Accounts, Redirected folders; data migration, server side applications install, etc
I guess it's more of a singular project checklist, than anything else. But we may have 50 of these going at one time. So missing a step is possible, yet preventable with the right tool.
Sometimes we have one-off unique projects that may take months; during planning, we outline everything that needs to be done, and currently, try to remember to do it all!
