I tried something new on a recent project. I used the MS Outlook tasklist to keep track of things to add, change, update, or fix in my project. Since I work in a rapid development group I do not have the luxury of a project manger recording every request or change order into a neat document. This worked out fairly well. I can use the task list to go back and see what I added and when I crossed it off.
I also used a new naming convention for my CFM files and basically put them all in one directory. While a purist would have used an MVC directory structure I merely added pseudo MVC extensions as part of the name. like orders.cfm (View), orders_actions.cfm (control), orders_functions.cfc (model) which all deal with managing “Orders”. This worked out for a relatively small application with just a few tables and a few screens to manage.
