Comment by Nelson Parreira on "How do you plan your work before you start coding?"

We use Trello as a small project manager. We use the free version, because we are not a big company and mainly really in freelancer all over the world when we need extra services.

Basically we have a simple 4 columns approach. "Ideas","Approved/To be done", " in progress", "Done".

It's great because we can assign tasks, do multi lists and the system records everything that as to do with the boring stuff, like dates of assignments, deadlines, etc...

But first of all we do a first meeting, to define all the rules we will use, and "break apart" the "big" project to small parts.

We use HTML/CSS/JavaScript and Drupal mainly... when we need something specific we "freelance it"...

Sounds awesome, Nelson. Like Robert said, even I think it's always nice to have smaller chunks. :-)

We work with freelancer when we need something specific. Why reinvent the weel? There is always someone that know a lot about a specific item, so why loose time with that if we can have it done and well done in a couple of hours/minutes.

That's something we learn in the university. When you have a big problem, just break it in small ones. Solve all the small ones and the big one is over. :)

Breaking a project down in smaller chunks is always a good thing to do, no matter how small the project :) And what do you mean with "freelance it"? ;)
