So you guys don’t even have basic issue and task trackers? Even Office 365 plans have Planner, a basic shared to do list. This is strange. Even without project tracking software, all you’d need is a weekly standup meeting for status.
No, we didn't have any of that. There was a reason why I left this place. IT was not seen as anything that deserves more respect than the dirt on their shoes.
Even if I had introduced a standup meeting or status meeting, I don't think I could have gotten my manager to participate in that. What exactly would that have done? If you work under a shit manager none of what you suggest would have helped.
