Tracking Projects - what we're up to at Cleveratom

Being a new business we not yet had time in our days (and nights) to find or make a software solution that works for us in tracking our projects - so our 'blue board' was born. Basically we keep a track of our workload by 'moving around' bits of paper between the various sections of the board.... not 'cutting edge technology', I know... but absolutely brilliant for keeping on top of everything we're up to at any one time. As a new project or proposal is generated or arrives it joins the board in the form of a 'post-it note', getting promoted to 'printed text on a piece of white paper' if it is lucky enough (when we get some time).... right now the 'post-it notes' contain the last three weeks of additions. Sticking in a 'blue pin' means we're 'on the case' .... sticking in a 'red pin' means 'action required'.... I'm really proud of our board as a temporary solution and recommend it to any new business as a great way of keeping on top of what you are up to .... till you have the time to turn it electronic....
