I agree with Charlene in this article… managing so many things with informal tools like Excel gets really messy really soon.

We also felt the same frustration while trying to manage our job applications through e-mails, Excel, etc. We decided to shift to Simplicant, which made our life much easier, by giving us the same amount of organization with hiring as BaseCamp did with project management.

One product that has not been previously mentioned yet yields great results is Communiclique. I have been using this VoIP PM software in my office and it has really worked wonders in terms of organization and personnel coordination.

I use Huddle for project management. The totally free version allows you to share project documents with up to 5 people in one team. The paid packages store all document versions so you never lose track of work and allow more projects, users and storage space. Great tool, give it a try!

Kian Ann – do you have projects going that involve multiple team members with tasks or is it just your stuff? Excel has worked well as long as it has just been me, but I’m not sure if I can make it work for project management going forward.

Lifesperspective – another vote for Excel. You are right, even the best tools won’t help unless you actually use them consistently!

Adam – let me know if you try ActiveCollab. I am going to give it a go – but probably not until September.

ActiveCollab looks interesting… I’ve used a simple system of mapping my projects visually (I wrote about it here), and paper to-do lists (two or three items a day). But I still have the nagging suspicion that some things may be falling in the cracks…

But Lifesperspective is right on, I’d say. Eliminate inefficiences before investing (time, $) in a bigger system to handle them!

well, i’m doing project management as my day-job and personally, no software seems to be as good as Excel. Basically, project management is all about being organized and disciplined and no software can ever help you if you yourself do not religiously update and capture the information. Thus, IMHO, save the $$$ and work on being disciplined and systematic

Char, I’m still using Ms Excel – for everything! Project management, lists, accounting… thanks for the tip on ActiveCollab.
