What are your favorite project tracking tools?

I just started a new role and am quickly finding that we need some place to track projects besides teams chat or email.

In previous roles I've used excel, which is very basic but a typical go to for engineers. Occasionally one note.

At this point something is better than nothing, but curious if there's something else that would be beneficial?

Jira, Click-up, Monday Azure DevOps Asana, even Smart-sheet. There are always better tools, just depends on if your company will collaborate or will pay for licensing/subscription.

Jira or asana for software projects.

For less structured projects Notion is also an option. I also like smart sheet.

How much time are you willing to spend developing a planning platform?

For the first few months, I need something quick and easy. This company seems open to spending on software, so maybe after the first 90 days I can help evaluate/implement more refined options. The immediate need is for the particular parts of the project (utility scale solar/wind/bess) I'm involved in (project parameters/details, timelines, milestones, etc.).

I use Planner as it’s part of Teams; it’s not the best but it’s good enough for my needs.

like

I use a combination of excel with links to documents in a Sharepoint. We also use a teams channel to do most of the communication but it isn’t the easiest to do.

I wish my company used ClickUp or a form of basecamp. Then the tasks, documents, etc would be in the same spot.

like

Monday is my preferred! Love how customisable it is.

like

Project tracker spreadsheet if you don’t have a budget for software. Asana if you have budget.

Also google sheets now has Gemini AI in it. You can prompt it to help build you a project tracking sheet and it can turn out some cool results and tables for you. The more details in your prompt that you give about columns, statuses drop downs etc the better it builds it out for you.

Should I Go Back and Reneg? Recently I was offered a role as a Project Implementation Manager (In Retirement Services) .The salary range for Colorado residents was 65-89K. I’m located in NY so the recruiter said he would try to get me more. Ultimately he came back at 90K which is a bit inline with that I was seeing on Glassdoor but approx looks like I may leave 10-12K on the table. I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!

My boss makes jokes about me being from a different country whenever there is a work meeting or a gathering with coworkers, even though he knows where I am from. This usually occurs when I meet new work-related people or for example if I am in a situation that involves ethnic related subjects.
