Getting things done with Jott
I’ve read David Allen’s book Getting Things Done (GTD) and practise the GTD methodology in my daily routine managing work at kmsystems. I find that GTD works well in an agile environment similar methodology to first identifying your to do list or back log and then just work through the actions to clear it or burn it down as the agile folk call it.
I just read this post “Getting things done in the enterprise” which points out that there are a lot of tools available for assisting individuals maintain GTD methodology and one that David Allen uses is Jott (turn your words into actions) which is perfect for the mobile travelling person who on the road a lot. Unfortunately not available here is Aus.
My team and I are remote most of the time and to help us plan our day GTD style and also know what each person is doing we developed our own application called “Whos doin wot”. Whos doin wot allows each person to plan their work in advanced and have it pop up on the day it needs to be done also it helps other team members see who’s swamped and could do with a helping hand.

No that’s a cool innovation. I read the same enterprise article and the author admitted that a major stumbling block to sharing productivity tools is everyone likes to choose their own. I’ve used Jott here in the US for some time now (btw, its no longer free) and found it to be the perfect complement to my all electronic GTD, allowing me to add my thoughts directly to my GTD by calling them in from my cell phone. The system I use allows me to view my entire GTD at work on my Win machine, at home on my Macs and even on my cell phone. I’ve written about my experiences with GTD in a blog post at http://johnkendrick.wordpress.com/2008/03/27/more-getting-things-done/ John
