I have been thinking about how to manage projects. There is of course, MS Project, but I am talking about all the projects and tasks that I need to keep track of. On a given project, if I am managing the project, I try to use tools to keep track of everything: Phase the project out, break tasks into smaller tasks, etc. The tools I may use range from a network drive for my files, OneNote, SharePoint Issues List: Sorted by priority, and emails.
SharePoint is great for collaboration, MS Project is great for projects, but there doesn’t seem to be a tool that I have seen that will allow me to manage all of my projects both small and large, tasks, ideas, etc. I’m looking for a one stop shop. I have been pondering on making a SharePoint Project Dashboard that all departments can use. I have some ideas, but I thought I would put my thoughts out there and get some feedback on what others are doing.
Please feel free to send me ideas or how you manage all your projects. It seems to be the missing tool that most people would use.
I started working on my Project Dashboard, and I’ll post my results when I’m done.
Thanks,
