How do you organize your projects?

gacott · 06-17-2009, 10:18 PM

Like many of you, I own a bunch of domains. Currently I am keeping track of 100's of domains, 10s of registrars, multiple DNS providers, a number of hosting accounts and many projects, all with a spreadsheet. I'm not really a spreadsheet kind of guy so I'd really be interested to hear what others are using to bring all of this together. Free is great, open source even better, as it allows me to make modifications as needed.

Thanks
Garret

Well that's the whole point isn't it? With decent software to manage projects I can manage more projects.

I used to work for a Food and Drinks company in the UK and I was responsible for managing around 75 projects at any one time - it was a nightmare! I used to use a combination of Excel Spreadsheets, Microsoft Project and Microsoft Access Database.

I can't actually recommend anything for your projects - but what I would say is identify the most important projects and manage those tightly and worry less about the rest.

It's the old 80/20 rule - in reality your most important projects or most profitable ventures are from 20% or less of your overall workload.

If you do still end up using Excel spreadsheets the "conditional formatting" function is a neat trick for highlighting for example date cells if you are tracking things like that e.g. renewal dates - just makes things stand out.

I think overall though it sounds like you need a proper system to manage your business properly - sounds like you've got hundreds of things to worry about!

Best wishes and hope you find a good solution - Dave

I will be coming out with a whole product line of software applications that you can modify.

You will be able to add new windows, new editors, new calculations and rules. You will also be able to change the layout of the windows and so on...

I have a few I will do for Internet Marketing. It won't be free but well worth the price knowing you can modify the software to continue to meet your needs. I know I have outgrown many software products after some time.

Heh, and I thought I was bad. :-)

I have the same problem as Garnett's. I have hundreds of domain names and I have them all loaded into an excel spreadsheet. I have taken a look at the software recommendations posted earlier, and will delve into them a little deeper. One seem particularly promising. Thanks for the great question, Garnett.
