Avoid methods, or products, that record/track/produce a lot of information that might look pretty, but that doesn't affect what you do from one day to the next.

A whiteboard and a stack of post-it notes can work much better than more complicated methods for many projects.

These are some great points.

In an ideal world we would all be physically located in a similar space, with access to all the resources that we need. Then if we needed something we'd just go over and talk to the right people.

Some teams can literally do that, and so may not need as much tracking on a website or other software tool. You'll just annoy everyone if you introduce too much process.

Post-it notes on a wall are actually a great, low-tech way to keep track of tasks and their progress. Advocates of "agile" development methodologies actually promote literally doing this. Naturally 3M is all on board too:
