It’s been a busy couple weeks. This app launches tomorrow and lasts for six weeks, but we’re already working on our next couple projects.
We keep our project management low-tech. Index cards and magnets show the true work done with one piece of functionality held on each card. It keeps what usually is a very digital process securely in the physical world.
The rule is that you can only work on one card at a time, and as cards move from the backlog, through development, into review, and “Done!” you get a quick view of where the project actually stands.
A column or checkbox in a spreadsheet doesn’t share the same impact as handing a client an inch-tall stack of index cards at the end of a project and saying “this is what we’ve built for you.”
