Welcome, Anna, and thank you!
I hadn't heard of Trello but I will have a look at it and I will add it to the list of recources to share with everyone after our discussion.

Hi
My name's Anna and I work alongside Lynne at De Montfort University.
From my experience a good project manager does just that, makes sure everything is organised from the start and delegates to other people the majority of the tasks. But they have to have a good overview of the whole project and the tasks involved so they can keep it on track. If people involved (whether directly or just as stakeholders) aren't sure what is happening or what is exactly expected of them then that causes problems.
Lynne's blog post mentioned some useful sounding tools for project management. Has anyone used anything else? Some of us at DMU have started using Trello https://trello.com/ which we find useful for keeping track of tasks and assigning responsibilities as well as sharing information.
Anna
