What I wanted was the ability to print out one report that lists every project with upcoming dates, and then another with due dates for all projects arranged sequentially. I tried to use folders for clients and then nestle projects inside, but found the sorting system didn’t return the results in the way we wanted. Yes, pricey, but given the time suck of what we were using before (spreadsheets and MS Word docs) well worth it.

If anyone else has any further recommendations, especially in the light of the above, then please feel free to continue posting.I was somewhat disappointed when I found that there was not a hard-baked collaborative system, but here’s what we came up with.īought licenses for each user. I prefer leaving my calendar for actual meetings and not sticking things in like 'Start prep work for agile planning session' (but perhaps this will change). That being said, I'm now trialling Things, and will come out of this either using Things, going back to TickTick or even sticking with Todoist.

Nonetheless, through this journey I've come to realise that perhaps 'less is more', and that tools like omnifocus for me were overkill (and presented an opportunity cost as there's a steep learning curve imo to actually use it to its full potential, which I don't think I would as I didn't require such a fully featured programme for personal to-do tracking). I basically needed my own 'personal tracker' system to track day-to-day activities, get me prepped for recurring tasks (like planning etc) as I found todoist to be lacking somewhat. Where I work we have to use Jira/Confluence for audit/regulatory/security purposes, and to be quite honest, I'm happy with it as I like using them. I think a few of you are recommending more sort of actual 'Management' and 'Tracker' programs that are akin to Jira (like, aha! etc). I hope the above makes sense (especially the paragraph directly above) as it's mostly been a brain dump of how I feel, as I want it to be the most truthful explanation of what I do and how I fell right now. Would the new features that Omnifocus offers be overkill for a Product Owner like me, or would they help me be more productive?Īnother Omnifocus specific question - can the app have regular tasks such as '5 days before sprint planning ensure stories are ready' etc?Īny other tools/tips/experiences that others here can offer that have helped when delivering products and features within an Agile team? I want to get into a better rhythm of working, because my gut feeling is that without better structure, I will eventually burn out.įirstly given the above, what task/GTD app do people use and why? I've now come across Omnifocus, and can see that has a whole myriad of new features to offer, and one of main reasons for getting a 'better' Tasks/GTD app is that right now, I'm mostly being reactive to work as it comes in, rather then having some structure. I'm now trialing TickTick which is very similar to Todoist, but has a few more features that I like (like sorting a particular task list into a Kanban view etc).

to help me track asks from the business, chase wireframes, add a new AC to a story, update this PRD etc) I've generally used Todoist, but always felt it was a bit light on features I always felt there was 'more' that could be done with a tasks/GTD type app. Now in terms of day to day task management/GTD (i.e. Jira is where we store all of our stories/ACs, Confluence our larger documents (such as PRDs, training materials and other relevant documentation) and MIRO for Storymaps, timelines and cross-collabarotive pieces of work). To help aide the above, I'm a heavy user of Jira, Confluence and MIRO (as well as obviously MS Office/G Docs as needed). Syncing up with my development team to ensure we remain on track Writing User Stories/Acceptance Criteria for the initial batch of stories Validating these stories and requirements, and running them through with design team to create flow and screens Story mapping the feature (either myself as a first-stab and then with the rest of the team/stakeholders) Gathering requirements for new features (and then putting these into say a PRD) For the avoidance of doubt, my responsibilities in a linear fashion are basically (very similar to this visualisation here ): I'm a junior Product Owner and am constantly looking at improving my ways of working.
