Re: Project Management Platforms

We used Microsoft Project for Gantt charts and Google Drive for spreadsheets, documents, and presentations (design reviews, etc.). We're looking at using Slack for team communication, especially at competition. Having a nice popup on my phone is a nice instant means of communication. My only issue is I can't get access to slack while at work (yay IT department!), but it's not a huge deal for me (and it's not an issue for most people either). The other tool that was critical this year was our implementation of 254's Cheesy parts. We used it for generating part numbers and tracking orders. It can do more than that (like keeping track of part manufacture status), but we simply don't have enough people to put someone on that full time. I have difficulty in pulling a student off of a machine to update the part status on the website. Trello seems nice, but I doubt anyone would actually use it much.
