How I Keep Track of Projects & Progress
Posted on Thursday, November 26th, 2009 under SoftwareBeing able to keep projects organized is essential to growing my business, because it allows me to concentrate on multiple ventures without skipping a beat. This post lists out several solutions that allow me to keep track of workflow and progress.
Pivotal Tracker – PT is a free web-based project management tool. Its simplicity makes it ideal for keeping track of small and personal projects. It’s especially useful for projects consisting of small teams, where ideas need to be prioritized in an ever-changing environment.
MediaWiki – If it’s important but not of immediate use, I dump it into my wiki. Retaining everything you come across isn’t practical or feasible. Text files are great, but messy in the long run. A wiki provides one with the flexibility of a notepad, and the reference power of an encyclopedia.
In the past, I relied heavily on Evernote to organize all of my notes. Despite it’s many benefits, it is proprietary software. Due to its closed-source nature, it provides no plugins, limited markup and UI has flaws that made it difficult for me to navigate my notes. Switching to MediaWiki was well worth it.
