How Is Your Project Management?

I don't know about you, but I am not a great manager of people or projects. I forget things from one day to the next and usually have so many ideas for my domains floating around that I rarely achieve anything.

But, I need stuff doing, so I take the outsourcing route and have had positive and negative experiences along the way. Mostly negative, simply because I am so poor at managing people.

Recently, I began working with a few new developers and one introduced me to a wonderful system called Basecamp.

It's a project management system that allows me to specify projects, set project milestones, time deadlines and provides me with a one-stop communication centre that can accommodate as many projects and developers as I wish.

I am so impressed with it, that I am considering offering development services and taking on a few clients, as this system makes it easy to manage projects, people and clients, even if they are on the other side of the world.

See it yourself at http://www.basecamphq.com/ - and no, that's not an affiliate link, it's a genuine endorsement.

I recently launched a project management tool on Facebook called MyOffice. It's a great place to collaborate with friends in a virtual work environment. Schedule meetings, engage in discussions, share docs, assign and track tasks/milestones. There's also a great dashboard that keeps youn up to speed on all of your projects.
