That is an excellent question.

A good transition from Excel sheets to something else is Trello. It's
free, lets you set deadlines, has a calendar, can separate tasks by
person, etc. I use it a lot. It seems perhaps overly simplistic at
first
glance, but if your needs fit into a spreadsheet, it will give you
everything you gain from that plus a lot more.

management programs is that they are designed for really large
projects with many people and typically PMP certified folks using
the package. It still requires a lot of setup and customization
for your particular project. If you are proficient in excel you
can get it done quicker there.

for a tower company, the typical reason for projects falling
behind and getting out of control was the lack of task completion
forecast dates and a failure to examine those dates on a daily
basis. These dates set goals for employees and contractors and
helps them manage their priorities and workload.
