For those of you who manage big projects with multiple work streams, etc. how did you learn how to do it efficiently and effectively? Did your organization have status templates to use? Learned from someone before you?
My project management experience is in very small scale projects where I can basically just check in with people one on one and most tasks are dependent on one previous task being completed, so it's a simple workflow with few moving parts. I've been asked to manage a monster and am playing catch up now.
Our company uses Confluence and JIRA, the former for project documentation and the latter for task/project management. I wasn't familiar with either before I started and it has taken me a while to learn them. Looking at other people's work has been helpful. But different things work well for different people.
