This is the "engineering board" that tracks engineers project by hours remaining.



Where I'm at is the big board is too much detail. The area managers should be driving their people and these tasks should never make it to upper management.

The engineering board is too hands off. Each Eng is expected to keep the board up to date, but no one uses it.

I'm on board with MS project is the way to go, but we have to use a "company tool". We like boards driven by markers and crayons...
Hey, that looks like Agile or Lean Project Management with PRoduct Owners, ScrumMasters and Team with daily standup meetings.
