At the risk of sounding too commercial, you might want to try my app for 45 days free and if it works for you, the cost ($24.95) should be a good value.

There’s a whole lot of info on the web about the system, and it’s got a pretty fanatical following at this point. It might help you out quite a bit, actually, what with you being a project manager and all. The book might be a little tough to get through at first, from what I’ve heard–Dwight, maybe you can help on that point since I haven’t started reading it yet–but the concepts seem to be really sound and helpful, especially once you get a system in place.
