What Do You Manage Your Projects With?

Posted by maloneys on 5/27/2016 at 4:51 AM ET 125 Points
Hi all,

I have recently taken a sideways step in my career. I have moved from an agency which had a relativity consistent monthly cycle and work load.

My now have a role (PM in a marketing department) which has an enormous amount of moving parts across many departments and channels.

I would like to know what PM tools you are all using. What works well for you personally and why?

I know that each method really depends on the person. But as marketeers I expect we have some similar ways of working!

I used to use a good old notepad to collect my ideas. Annotate as things changed but as you can imagine this is very ridged. I combined this with gantt charts to keep to my deadlines.

I know use a trello board which i am really liking. Very simplistic but enough to capture ideas and steps needed.

I look forward to your responses!

Thanks all

    Checkout Smartsheet.com. Its a cloud SAS PM solution that allows you to view the same data as a simple spreadsheet, calendar or gantt chart. You can also generate a form that automatically adds info to the sheet - we used it for creative briefs to get projects added to our workflow. You can also attach documents request updates, etc. There are mobile versions for phones and tablets that all sync together.
