It looks great for coordinating lots of people doing lots of things... My life is complicated- but not THAT complicated! Me and Dee- we'll stick to our lists! :) @joeyb- I took a look at scrum and ran screaming!

One of the other benefits of such an approach is that it facilitates the ability to check and readjust prioritization of tasks based upon overall objectives/commitments. I could easily beat myself up for not hitting everything on my list, but what i realized was that's pretty dumb as my list never ends! One of the thing I've started to focus more time on is looking back on the day and ask myself, "Did I move my objectives forward today, or was I mired in smellavision?" If the latter, I try to figure out how to prevent future bs from occurring. You should check out scrum. Scrum is a PM methodology designed to allow for agile program management, traditionally used by the programming community. We've started to apply the methodology to our projects because it supports the idea of having your work effort on the wall, and easily visible between what's to be done, in flight, QA, or done. also highly collaborative in nature. but the best part is that it allows you to re-prioritize tasks between doing based upon whatever short term factors or strategic changes are at play.
