Implementation of a large project 1. Communicating with the team members on a daily basis 2. Status meeting with the senior managers 3. Monitoring the schedule and milestones My question is how do I log the day to day issues. I cannot write on a sticky note. What else do I need to do to manage the project effectively at the implementation phase. |

At the most basic level, you can use a simple log book (journal/diary/spiral notebook) to maintain a contiguous record of notes. If you prefer using a computer for the job, you can use any calendar application (like Outlook) or even a document processor like Word/WordPad. We often write notes in meetings on our shift schedule reports and just end up hole punching and binding them to maintain a history.

sticking with the basic fundamentals is always the best way to go.

I agree that the communication will be key for this project to be successful..and it's important you keep track of all these members throughout every step so you are all clear and going towards the same goals..I suggest you use some sort of software to replace these 'sticky notes.' This way you can all communicate at any time and share any important files, documents, etc. Besides this, all the points you mentioned of course are important.

Yes, for real communication its better to work with a project online collaboration software. Also, wiki pages can help to create , review and edit content, sharing ideas and feedbacks with team members. What I like from wikis is that they look like those yellow sticky notes that we used to remember what we need to do for ourselves , but now we can use this wiki notes to collaborate and bring together our reminders and thoughts to get things done efficiently.

IPad's have some pretty neat features to track the project. Most applications are free as well. : ) |

I use a spreadsheet log to track the completed actions & Next steps from the days discussion which is circulated to the complete team after the discussion. And yes another spreadsheet to summarize the day's status w.r.t the plan for the Senior Management. |
