Default Project Template vs. Project Software
I was wondering if anyone just uses a template (in Excel or Word?) to manage their projects, rather than purchasing project management software. If so, did you find the template online or create it yourself?

Thanks!

I use OneNote to manage my projects because you can add anything you want including web screen captures with date and time stamp. I found I am more organized with "my binders". And it syncs with Outlook so I have my to do list and calendar appointments put into my Outlook and manage it from there.

Lee have you ever used the live sharing session?

in answer to your question I don't use any! I'm still searching for the right one.

Kelly,

I have not used the live sharing. I use mostly for my own organization. I am looking into it though since I may need it in the future.

I use clientspot and it is really good especially if you have a multi va team. your clients can log in and see progress of there projects etc. basecamp is great also.
