Probably overkill but I created an MS Project mpp and broke functionality into "Releases". Each release has a bunch of functionality and for each function/page I have an activity of scaffold -> finish dev/tests -> apply design. 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... :-)
