It was a rainy winter day and I was having another project management crisis with business partner Gavin at our digital product studio Input Logic. The exact nature of the crisis eludes me now, but I'm sure we'd let some client expectations slip and were feeling guilty again.

Using Slack:
Our team of eight is pretty playful. We don't take ourselves seriously. We level up our abilities, play hackysack, ship great work. We wanted a project management process that was in line with our values: relevant and helpful without sucking the fun out of things.

Using Trello:
Trello is the visual tool that empowers your team to manage any type of project, workflow, and task tracking. Add files, checklists, or even automation: Customize it all for how your team works best. Just sign up, create a board, and you're off!

Using TeamGantt:
TeamGantt is a project collaboration & planning software for teams. The software combines Gantt charts with task management, task level communication, file sharing and time tracking.

Best Practices for Project Management

• Practice #1 — Project based channels: We create a separate channel for every project, period. We invite only those team members who are involved in the project, along with the project manager.
• Practice #2 — Daily standups: Every morning we have a quick standup meeting to discuss what we're working on and any blockers we're facing.
• Practice #3 — Clear documentation: We maintain clear documentation for all our projects so anyone can jump in and understand what's happening.
