Project Management seems like one of the largest hurdles in our industry. When timelines span weeks, even months, there's no 100% perfect solution. Factor in having to manage multiple schedules, people, clients and things can really get messy.

 After years of solid Basecamp use, I decided to develop a more hands-on approach. During a lunch with the team at Forty Agency we discussed the pitfalls of online project management. All in all it's just too easy to ignore, not check or let tasks and to-dos accumulate. Even though there's robust reminder systems, those are usually in the form of email and are just as easy to forget about.

 With that said we're going to simplify things a bit here at Keane.

 The photo below is what I would consider the low-fi pre-alpha version of the new system. The basic idea is simple:

 - Clients have an area on the wall. A larger client gets more space.
- Actionable tasks are placed under their name on post-its as they pop into my head.
- The goal is to never let a client's area get full.

 There we go, version 0.1. Supplies used: Whiteboard tape + Post-it notes.

 I'll report back next week on how things work out, already it's nice to see things split up.
