I'm looking for some advice on the best strategies for effective project management. What tools, workflows, or methodologies have worked well for you?

I can't recommend Agile methodologies enough. Scrum, XP, and Kanban have been game changers for my project management and team collaboration.

Agile has really helped my team with better communication and faster delivery. You can integrate it with tools like Jira, Trello, and Asana.

If you choose Jira for Agile, make sure you have time to configure it. It's powerful but complex, otherwise you may end up fighting your tools instead of using them.

XP focuses on technical practices like continuous integration and test-driven development. I've found it helps create more reliable code over time.

TDD, though sometimes controversial, has really improved our software quality following the XP methodology. Worth trying out!

I prefer Waterfall for larger projects, as it lets me maintain a controlled environment and ensures that each stage is thoroughly completed before moving on.

Waterfall is great for projects where things don't change rapidly. But remember, it might be difficult to switch to Agile mid-project.

True, but some teams do a hybrid approach of Agile and Waterfall. It's not perfect, but can be adapted to fit specific projects or organizations.

Another thing I've found useful is using a visual project map. It helps break down and organize the project elements and lets the team see the whole picture.
