I came here to post that... too late.
I estimate each function/page for each activity (scaffold, finish dev, apply design) and I set an assumption in Project that my work day is 2 hours (how much I try to dedicate each day).
Project tells me based on my estimates what day I should have a particular task done and I try to finish it by said date. Every day the last thing I do is set my actual work for each task so that I know how I am progressing and whether I am ahead or behind schedule.
Might be overkill but I like seeing a % complete (rolled up to and knowing whether I am ahead or behind by x hours).
Currently on my 352 hour release I am 56% complete (155 hours) and I am aprox. 6 hours ahead of schedule... :-)
How would you scan? Bar code? Seems like a pain in the ass. Putting RFID on everything in your fridge doesn't seem feasible either.
Any solution like this has to be easy to use and cost effective for it to have adoption.
