I'm looking at a couple of online project management tools. I could manage it via threads in our admin forum but it just doesn't seem to be working for me. I'd have one thread with a long list or 67 different threads.

I've used iTeamwork in the past and am thinking about activating it for us. I feel like I have so much planned I can't keep it straight.

How do you all manage your forum/website projects?

I write everything down in a spiral notebook lol I am to lazy to actually set anything else up lol

if it's just you that's going to look at it just write it in a note book, if you are trying to co-ordinate with others that work with you on these projects why not just start a google user group and put the stuff in there. that way you can keep it all in one location and you can allow your other team members to join and post and so on so it's all in one spot and good to go.

or just keep it in your admin section of your forum. make a subforum/new forum section and just list everything you want to do in there, that way it's all listed in one area and you can edit and add new notes and information as you go.

just be sure to always test your stuff on another forum (testing setup) before you actually use them on your main. wouldn't want to take chances in mesing up that ever so precious database.

oh I don't install anything. I'm not techy and I WILL screw it up so I hire that out. Tracking stuff in my admin forum is just not an effective project management tool for me and I type better than I write.

I've heard good things about basecamp - Project management, collaboration, and task software: Basecamp

no make a subforum so that it only contains your projects within it. that way it's not mixed in with the rest of the admin information.

I have several subforums of my admin forum, one of them is 'To Do'. It has my projects and tasks. It just doesn't really work for me, so I was looking for something a little more than that.

Thank bdude, I will check BaseCamp out!

I'm trying the 30 day trial at base camp. 4 projects and multiple to do lists.... I'm liking it.

Now I don't know what to do first!

BaseCamp is rather nice : -).

That aside, I generally use a indexed file or excel as it works just perfect for me. I prefer doing it by hand unless it requires me to upload data for the client. In that case, I upload it to a private folder specifically for them.
