:: Subject: [thelist] to-do list/project management tool
::
:: I'm trying to work out a better process for working with one of my
:: clients. They have a fairly large site with a content
:: management system
:: that is constantly a work in progress. When I originally
:: built the site,
:: at one point we said that any new features would have to wait for
:: Version 2. The "Version 2 To-do List" has grown and grown since then
:: (the site has been live for almost two years), with new items being
:: added faster than other items can be completed.
::
:: The client seems to be fairly happy with this arrangement.
:: The problem I
:: am running into is the client forgetting which items she previously
:: asked me to work on right now, and deciding she wants to focus on
:: something else, or just asking me to do seemingly small
:: things that take
:: large chunks of time away from working on larger
:: improvements she wants
:: for the site.
::
:: What I'd like is to have a to-do list that she can see all the time,
:: up-to-date, including the status of items I am working on.
:: I'd also like
:: her to be able to prioritize the list, and change priorities
:: as much as
:: she wants, except for items I am working on already. I think
:: this will
:: give her a clearer idea of how much has yet to be done, how
:: much she has
:: asked for, what I am working on, etc, while also giving her
:: a greater
:: sense of control over what will be done next.
::
:: I'm not exactly sure what such a tool would be called, or if such a
:: thing even exists. Does anyone have any suggestions for something we
:: could use, or possibly something open source that we could use as a
:: starting point?
